Taking advantage of cues embedded in the ARTHUR TV series, each guide will be based on one ARTHUR episode, and the curriculum will address issues of media literacy, as well as related topics of purchasing power and peer pressure. Each guide will include a set of lesson objectives, a quick-reference synopsis of the episode, a set of story-comprehension questions, suggestions for a guided discussion, and an age-appropriate classroom activity.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ose-wrapper ose-uid-be2254e354272d3ba438e7a507540666 ose-embedpress-responsive\" style=\"width:1000px; height:550px; max-height:550px; max-width:100%; display:inline-block;\" data-embed-type=\"document_html\"><iframe allowFullScreen=\"true\" width=\"1000\" height=\"550\" src=\"http:\/\/pbskids.org\/arthur\/grownups\/medialiteracy\/index.html\" > <\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Social Studies teachers have a great resource in the Media &amp; American Democracy lesson plans and units written by educators who attend the week-long institute at Harvard.
