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 This title correlates to the following educational standards: Standard Number: 2.3.
