Extractions: Media Education and Student Journalism The following information provides teachers with an overview of media education and its connection to student journalism. As media education has become a key component of the Language Arts curriculum in all provinces, the following material will demonstrate to media education teachers the connection between the two curriculums, learning outcomes, skills learnt and links to lesson plans and activities involving journalism and media education. INTRODUCTION Thousands of media images bombard us every day. They are found on billboards, magazines, newspapers, video games, tv, radio, the internet.....and even in our schools. These images influence our values, opinions and attitudes, and our social conventions and norms. This is especially true for young people. Media, and especially the Internet, are more than just a means of learning about the world around them. Media is their world, their "reality". Because mass media plays an extensive and influential role in the lives of students, it is important that these media images are brought into the classroom curriculum so students can learn how to become critical thinkers, listeners, readers, and viewers as well as effective users of the media available to them. Through media education, students are given tools they need to respond thoughtfully and critically to what they see and hear every day. As a student journalism network, SNN provides teachers with information and resources you can use to show your students how the media works. It encourages students to think critically about what they read, see and hear in newspapers, television, radio and online media.

Higher Education Center: Media Advocacy media advocacy is the strategic use of mass media to support community organizing lesson plans and other information for teachers, and indexes to media http://www.edc.org/hec/socialnorms/mediaadvocacy/
Extractions: Media advocacy is not the same thing as social norms marketing, although people sometimes confuse the two. Social norms marketing and media advocacy are two very different strategies. Media advocacy is "the strategic use of mass media to support community organizing to advance a social or policy initiative," (Dorfman and Wallack, 1996). While media advocacy efforts may take many forms, often they involve organizing attention-getting events to stimulate news coverage of an issue. One frequent goal of media advocacy is to refocus the framing of a problem and its solutions from an individual level (drinking will be solved by educating individual students) to an environmental or policy level (changing drinking patterns on campus requires changing the environment in which the behavior occurs). According to the Prevention Research Center, "media advocacy is the purposeful and planned use of mass media to bring problems and policy solutions to the attention of the community and local decision-makers. Media advocacy seeks to broaden the "frame" of the news presentations in the public debate. Media advocacy acknowledges and accepts that the mass media creates simple pictures of real events in the minds of the audience. Individuals using media advocacy do so believing that the picture that the press presents can be improved, altered, and used to redefine the understanding of an important issue. To accomplish this requires that community members become skilled in working with the mass media to present a clear 'frame' of the issue so as to focus on the public health problem and solutions,"

Extractions: Unit Six Lesson Plans Home Unit 1 Unit 2 Unit 3 ... Unit 6 Lesson 1: Students and the Political Process Through the use of standardized materials (texts, work sheets, videos, etc.) students are given a foundation in political education. Traditional classroom materials are vital in developing a knowledge of Americas political system. Students have become aware of the components of the system and how they interact by completing most of the lessons provided in Units One through Five. The next phase is direct student involvement in the political activities of the community and state. Many opportunities are available. Most political clubs have or would be willing to start such groups as Young Democrats or Young Republicans to involve students in politics. Most government lessons are taught in isolation - lots of theory, little reality. The students are taught the definition, background, and structure of our political systems, with little more than passing reference to nuts and bolts of how the systems work, why they work, or their role in it.
