Engaging Students In Media Literacy

[Frank W. Baker]

It is always gratifying as an author to learn that teachers have incorporated one of your books into instruction.  In this blog, two teachers document their use of the Capstone Press Fact Finder Media Literacy series.

From the Innovation Design blog: "By using this series as a springboard for their project, the students learned about the reality of what goes on behind the scenes on their topic. They produced their own media pieces to teach their peers about the validity of online media, marketing techniques in magazines, or the gimmicks used in music promotion and movie hype. This included understanding the techniques used for product placement, fact verses opinion, appeal, and the art of persuasion."
