I worked with Hayley and Dena for this project. We had some initial trouble trying to come up with an idea to either inform or resist Disney/Princess culture but we eventually landed on portraying a black girl and a white girl, seeing the same scene in Cinderella, and showing the effect that it has on different girls. Once we had an idea, it was much easier to go forward with the project, making the props and the script for a video. Our video concluded with the question of what effects Disney culture is having on our younger generations. In the classroom, we have to be aware of the media that our students are consuming so that we can teach them to be more critical of their media consumption as well as attempt to counter the effects that media has on them so that our students' social-emotional needs are being met.
