About this ebook
Get the strategies and tools you need to develop a deep understanding of media literacy so that you can pass on essential critical thinking skills to your students.
Helping students understand media literacy has never been more important. Today’s young people often spend over 10 hours a day consuming media. Aided by technology, they can instantly engage with media outlets and platforms to find answers, share information, shop or connect with friends. But access alone doesn’t lead to critical thinking.
Media is designed to be analyzed, deconstructed and reconstructed. Understanding how to interpret advertising messages, check for bias or avoid stereotyping are among the skills students need to become knowledgeable consumers and producers of media. This is where Media Literacy in the K-12 Classroom, Second Edition comes in.
Included in this revised edition:
How do you begin to understand the importance of teaching media literacy? Where can you find appropriate resources — lessons, activities, videos and books — to help you do so? This book is the place to start.
Audience: K-12 educators, library media specialists
