After learning about writing newspaper / magazine articles, your class has
decided to make a magazine that helps other students raise their awareness in
media literacy. You have been chosen to become one of the magazine’s top media
expert critics. First, you will become an expert by visiting some current
media websites and researching the media industry. You will learn about
important media concepts such as purpose, how to interpret and respond, point
of view and bias as well as different media conventions and techniques. Once
you have become an expert you will review four different ad campaigns,
choosing one to critique and write your magazine article on.
Remember your article is meant to teach other students so it should include
answers to all the important media questions, as well as your own response and
opinion.
When you are ready to become an expert head to PROCESS for complete
instructions and the links to your media websites.
