Rap Man
This video was created by Kevin Mitchner, who was at the time a Grade 11 student in my English Media Studies (EMS 30) class at Bishop Smith Catholic High School in Pembroke, Ontario. His satirical piece was in response to a newspaper editorial we read in class about rap music being responsible for increased incidents of teenage violence.

Female Action Figures
Another animated movie by Kevin, but this time a reaction to Jackson Katz's //Tough Guise//, a documentary film about sexual stereotypes, especially in the media.

Social Networking or Socially Inept?
Students from my EMS30 class--Anthony Kellner, Chad Godin, Mike Foran, and Kevin Mitchner--play with the notion that social networking may be creating a generation of socially inept people.
