Introduction

Let’s talk pop culture. There’s been a ton of buzz about the importance of representation of minorities in all the latest movies, TV shows, music, sports, video games and books. Whether it’s racial, gender, socioeconomic, disability, or sexual orientation, many people believe that pop culture hasn’t fully succeeded at being inclusive and representative.
Students can reflect on representation in pop culture, AKA in movies, books, tv, sports, music, etc. via portrait-style interviews. For this challenge, students will record with phones and/or interview others in-person or remotely (see instructions for recording remote interviews). Go HERE to guide students through the production process.
