Have them bring in samples for the class to look at. Discuss with students what they like and dislike about the magazines. Call attention to the ads and articles that feature young people. Do students feel these portrayals are accurate? Representative of themselves? Finally, have students express their opinions about the magazines in e-mails or letters to the editor. (Help students find addresses, if necessary.)

Write the responses on the board. If more than one student lists the same activity or skill, write a check mark next to the skill for each response. When the students have finished, discuss this list. Did a number of students list the same skills (sports, math, etc.)? Were there any skills or activities named by only one student? Help students brainstorm other interests they could pursue. Explain to students that there is a wide range of activities with which to distinguish themselves.
