Media Literacy Unit (English 10)

Billboards, magazines, newspapers, TV, radio, movies...the list of mediums we receive information can go on forever! With the media so prevalent in our lives, understanding where messages originate, who the target audience is, why the message is being sent to us, and what the message is truly saying is an important life skill. Therefore, we will be focusing on this topic for a few weeks in English 10.

We will be beginning our Media Literacy Unit with this media usage form. Keep track of how much you are exposed to media throughout the day!
