DESCRIPTION:HOW TO READ A FILM: A Visual Literacy Workshop for High School Teachers and 
 Media Educators  August 21 and 22, 2006  @ Pacific Film Archive, University 
 of California, Berkeley  The Pacific Film Archive (PFA) in Berkeley has 
 gathered an impressive array of media specialists with extensive experience 
 in training educators for its 8th annual Visual Literacy Workshop, HOW TO 
 READ A FILM. The workshop offers a well-balanced survey of visual literacy 
 principles and practices, addressing both theoretical/historical issues, 
 and hands-on applications. The ultimate aim of the workshop is for teachers 
 to be able to use visual and media literacy practices within the classroom 
 to enhance curricular learning through critical thinking and creative 
 inquiry.  Our mainstays return this year--included are Kathleen Tyner, 
 author of Literacy in a Digital World; Mindy Faber, youth-media specialist 
 from Chicago, IL; and Stephen Gong, Executive Director of the Center of 
 Asian American Media. This year’s workshop includes two special sessions: 
 Sean Uyehara, from the San Francisco Film Society, tackles the cultural 
 phenomenon of the iPod; while “Grade the News” is a classroom-based 
 activity developed by John H. McManus, from the School of Journalism at San 
 Jose State University.  Registration for the event will begin immediately. 
 There will be a discounted rate of $75 (Standard Fees: $100) for those who 
 register by June 15, 2006. For brochures or registration information about
