Media Literacy Documentary

[Frank W. Baker]

I am always on the lookout for videos which show media literacy at work inside the K-12 classroom. Here is one. It was produced by a media studies graduate student in Portland who is concerned about why media literacy is not taught in American schools.

This is a great unit. Cable in the Classroom ran an ongoing series of articles in their magazine last year that, when you put them all together, made up a unit very similar to this one. I did it w/ 6th graders at the end of the 2008-2009 school year and got a lot out of it. I hope the kids did as well. We focused on print ads, online ads, and TV ads.
