Make the Media
TakeingITGlobal.org has a great section on making your own media. It has some good resources on understanding current issues and starting your own "zine".
I remember as a high school student (at home of course) I was interested in creating web sites. Now it is my business! For a school project I created a web site on the history of Washington State. It was a lot of fun doing research on my topic and learning how to code HTML.
I like to encourage students to start making their own media (whatever form it may be). I am a firm believer in being a producer, not just a consumer. We all have something to say. There are many forms of media. Find one you like and use it as a platform to share your thoughts and ideas. Here are a few forms of media:
1. Write lyrics and make music. Share your music with your friends and family and if you are bold, share it with the public at an open mic event.
2. Zines
3. Create a web site
