Kids & Advertisers on LIVEbrary Week 4

[Steve O'Keefe]

The LIVEbrary, an online educational program from children's book
publisher Annick Press, welcomes guest author Shari Graydon for the
fourth week of Media Awareness. The two-year program for middle school
and junior high schools students, teachers, librarians and
homeschoolers is funded by a grant from the Canada Council for the
Arts.

Graydon will be chatting about her book "Made You Look," which
challenges kids to become aware of how advertisers try to manipulate
them. Graydon was also the guest author during Week 2, in which she
discussed her book dealing with society's conceptions about beauty,
"In Your Face." You can view a transcript from that live chat at the
LIVEbrary blog:

The LIVEbrary blog also features lesson plans, instructions for using
the chats in the classroom, and registration information. Teachers,
librarians, parents and homeschoolers must register in advance to
participate in the LIVEbrary.
