Media Literacy 

 

 

 

 

 

a Collaborative Project of the students in Mr Potts's Media Literacy Studios

 

 

 

Under Construction!  The newest pages are challenged to complete three tasks:

1) Define Media Literacy.

2) Show examples of media from your world.

3) Explain how each example demonstrates the persuasive techniques* we have studied.

 

 

 Wikitutorialpotts.ppt - Follow these step-by-step instructions to learn how to add content to your assigned category.

 

*Based on the Teaching the Language of the Image concepts, students have created a series of pages designed to educate specifically by technique or product; check out the lists below.

I think it's a little too text heavy, and to interest kids more, add a little bit more color and pictures.
