Blog #3
This blog entry is all about Media Literacy -- basically thinking critically about the media (television, games, movies, magazines, etc.) you enjoy.
- First, watch this video about Media Literacy
- Then pick one piece of media you enjoy. For instance a movie - like X-Men: Days of Future Past. Be specific with your selection too. Don't just pick "magazines." Pick a specific magazine like Sports Illustrated.
- Then answer the questions that the video brings up:
- Who made this message?
- Why was it made?
- Who are they trying to reach?
- What ideas or values are they trying to convey (hidden or obvious)?
- What has been left out of the message that is important to know?
- How might this message affect my actions, beliefs, values?
