NOVICE TEACHER SEEKS MEDIA LITERACY KIT!
At the suggestion of Lynn Widdowson I am writing to you “teacher to teacher.” I was fortunate to come across your state’s wonderful Media Literacy curriculum, but am stymied by the unavailability of the accompanying video and assorted materials.
I teach in Nassau County, a New York City suburb. After Ms. Widdowson explained that the materials were not produced in enough of a quantity for out-of-state distribution she was kind enough to SUGGEST THAT SOME KIND SOUL WOULD HELP!
I am a novice educator and would be grateful for your input. Usually I teach sixth grade ELA and social studies
but I will begin teaching a media literacy course this month for elementary students in grades 3-5.
Is there any way for me to borrow a copy of your video and kit?
I will certainly arrange to cover all of the shipping costs.
In addition can we speak about your experience working with these units?
My school address and numbers follow.
With many thanks for any assistance that you can offer
I am
Sincerely
