Reflect on the key ideas, key terms and vocab that you initially wrote down for the chapter Did your understanding of the key ideas, key terms and vocab change? Should you add anything to your information section? Why did you miss

this information the first time through? I want you to identify 5 media messages that you have received via

the media: TV, radio, magazine, billboard, movie or another source. How does each message attempt to influence your identity? Create a chart like the one below to explore this idea. Pg. 86 has a great example:
