Media literacy isn’t simply about fact-checking, but critically thinking about and questioning assumptions and influences behind what you see and share.
This week’s lesson introduces students to what media literacy is, why it matters, how it affects what we think, and why developing media literacy skills is foundational for responsible citizenship.
This lesson walks students through five key questions:
What is media literacy?
What can practicing media literacy look like?
What are the types of media literacy?
Why does media literacy matter?
What are the dangers of low media literacy?
