Happy New Year Coyotes!
This month our library lessons will focus on media literacy. Media literacy is an important skill to learn in our digital age. It consists of a myriad of sources even beyond traditional media (e.g. TV, radio and newspapers). Social media, memes, video games, etc. is all media that has been created by someone for some reason.
Students will learn how to analyze and evaluate advertisements and other types of media literacy to see what the objective of the media is. We will be asking and answering questions like "Who created this?, Why did they create it?, Who is the message for?, What details were left out and why? and so forth. Learning how to critically analyze media and understand what message is being conveyed can teach students to make informed choices.
