Do you ever see an advertisement on any form of media that makes you want to
buy the product they are advertising?
If you answered "YES" to any of these questions then you are a media user!
As a media user it is important to educate yourself in order to be a
responsible media user. It is important to understand how various media
works, who creates it, who it is for, and why they use the words, sounds, and
images they do. By understanding media you are able to respond to it with a well
educated opinion.
In this web quest you are going to make yourself a media expert by learning
about many of the important elements of media. Once you have become an expert
you are going to use that knowledge to become a media critic. You will take a
look at a well known media advertisement campaign and with your new media
literacy knowledge write an article for a new class magazine.
If you are ready to become a media expert please continue to THE CHALLENGE.
