English/MediaWorks as part of theSchenectady High School's Musical Theatre Program @ Proctors takes a media-centric approach to the English curriculum. Students engage in both analysis and creation of media-based projects as a way to approach a wide range of texts and tasks. From storytelling to explorations of culture, social action and media literacy, students use analysis, writing and argument skills and apply them to stories, nonfiction and documentary work, today’s media landscape and texts of their own choosing. All units involve the development and creation of media pieces that may be used as part of their own repertoires, or shared with the school and broader community.
