Understanding Media Literacy DVD
TV and radio commercials, Web sites and banner ads, magazine
ads, pop songs, photos, and even news articles and textbooks:
all of them are sending messages to influence the
reader/viewer/listener. How do they grab the attention? What
are they selling? A product or service? A lifestyle? An
ideology? Why? Would a different media consumer interpret the
message differently?
This program raises more questions than it answers, which is
the whole point: to prompt students to question, question,
question the messages they are bombarded with daily. Savvy
media consumers aren’t born; they’re made, and this program
is an excellent tool for shaping the classroom dialogue.
Perfect for in-class use.
2008, 33 minutes, NTSC DVD
