Book Description
Ever since television became a daily staple of U.S. family life, its influence on children has been the subject of study and debate. No aspect of the debate has been more heated than violence in the media. But a growing knowledge base has shifted the focus of the debate from whether media violence contributes to violence in real life to what can be done to deal with and reduce the violence. This book, written for both teachers and parents, aims to inspire creation of a "village" that supports the development of more positive media and media culture for children. The guide is divided into three parts. Part 1 gives background information on media, media violence, and the media culture and how it affects children. Part 2 discusses classroom strategies for working effectively with children on the full range of ways media, media violence, and media culture touch their lives. Part 3 describes strategies for working on media issues outside the classroom, with parents, in schools, and in the wider community. Throughout the book is information detailing the important issues underlying each topic, as well as guidelines to clarify how to address these issues, action ideas for how to begin, and numerous examples illustrating how teachers, parents, and others in the wider community have translated the suggestions into practice in their particular settings. The "Resources" section includes a bibliography, selected videos on media violence and children, selected children's books with annotations, organizations, national TV networks, government officials, and major toy manufacturers and retailers. Appendices present the NAEYC Position Statement on Media Violence in Children's Lives, sample materials from a community activity, and a sample flyer from a local event. (Contains 19 references.)

A cannon. A strap. A piece. A biscuit. A burner. A heater. A chopper. A gat. A hammer A tool for RULE Or, you can call it a gun. That’s what fifteen-year-old Will has shoved in the back waistband of his jeans. See, his brother Shawn was just murdered. And Will knows the rules. No crying. No snitching. Revenge. That’s where Will’s now heading, with that gun shoved in the back waistband of his jeans, the gun that was his brother’s gun. He gets on the elevator, seventh floor, stoked. He knows who he’s after. Or does he? As the elevator stops on the sixth floor, on comes Buck. Buck, Will finds out, is who gave Shawn the gun before Will took the gun. Buck tells Will to check that the gun is even loaded. And that’s when Will sees that one bullet is missing. And the only one who could have fired Shawn’s gun was Shawn. Huh. Will didn’t know that Shawn had ever actually USED his gun. Bigger huh. BUCK IS DEAD. But Buck’s in the elevator? Just as Will’s trying to think this through, the door to the next floor opens. A teenage girl gets on, waves away the smoke from Dead Buck’s cigarette. Will doesn’t know her, but she knew him. Knew. When they were eight. And stray bullets had cut through the playground, and Will had tried to cover her, but she was hit anyway, and so what she wants to know, on that fifth floor elevator stop, is, what if Will, Will with the gun shoved in the back waistband of his jeans, MISSES. And so it goes, the whole long way down, as the elevator stops on each floor, and at each stop someone connected to his brother gets on to give Will a piece to a bigger story than the one he thinks he knows. A story that might never know an END…if Will gets off that elevator. Told in short, fierce staccato narrative verse, Long Way Down is a fast and furious, dazzlingly brilliant look at teenage gun violence, as could only be told by Jason Reynolds.
