NEWEST BOOKS: Teaching Media Literacy

[Frank W. Baker]

I have just posted three new books here: please tell your library/media specialist, especially if he/she has funds to spend before the school year ends.

Mr. Baker,

 

We are trying to develop a media strand between a feeder elementary school and ourselves, a middle school.  Which of your publications would best help us define literacy and develop a continuous strand of competencies from elementary school to middle school?

Thank you,

Ms. Shawn Marie LaTorre

The Capstone Press Fact Finder Media Literacy series is one that deserves consideration. Each of the books, dedicated to a different medium, includes a series of critical thinking/media literacy questions that students could and should apply to all media messages.  I hope this helps.  Frank
