Our students are surrounded and immersed in media at school and at home. How can we help our students use critical thinking skills to be media literate? Here are 5 questions that we can ask to promote media literacy.
5 Essential Media Literacy Questions:
- Who created the message?
- Why was it made?
- Who is paying for it?
- How is the message trying to get my attention?
- Who is represented in the message and who is missing?
