ABSTRACT

This chapter explores the use of media ‘scrapbooks’ in research with young people. In the research project discussed here, participants created a mix of found-image collage and personal annotation or comment about their views of sexual media content. The article explains the evolution, rationale and implementation of the method, and comments on the form and content of the scrapbooks produced and how we approached the task of interpretation. It also describes how the method was subsequently adapted for classroom teaching, as a tool to promote reflective learning in sex and relationship education.
