TEACHING MEDIA LITERACY THROUGH THE TEEN-SCREEN Since so much media literacy work is based upon concerns regarding the effects of media on impressionable children and adolescents, studying the relationship between media and youth offers us an important insight into this relationship and has the added advantage for those of us working with young people, in providing us with a subject matter that our students are curious about. By utilizing key principles of media literacy we can begin to construct a conceptual framework that facilitates our understanding of media and youth. What are some of these principles and what questions do they raise about this relationship? MEDIA ARE REPRESENTATIONS. Media messages are actually depictions of people, places, issues, institutions and so on. Within the realms of our investigation the central question becomes, what is the nature of the way the media depict and construct young people? This can be divided into several important categories. 1. How are young people represented in distinct media such as motion pictures, television, advertising, journalism, popular music? What characteristics do these representations have in common and how do these depictions differ in different media formats? 2. How do the media perceive, address and target young people as the consumers of , and audiences for , their products? In short, we attempt to ascertain h ow the media TALK TO and ABOUT young people 1 way that the mainstream media frame or construct youth for example, can be summarized as

Return to Media Literacy Index Page Teaching Basic Concepts of Mass Communication with the Brain in Mind: An "Enriched" Approach to Introducing Media Literacy at the Middle Level Tina DiChiara "Brain-compatible learning is here to stay. You can bet it will effect nearly everything we do including teaching strategies, discipline policies, the arts, special education, curriculum, technology, bilingual programs, music, learning environments, staff development, assessment, and even organizational change." Eric Jensen, Teaching with the Brain in Mind The year 2001 marks the first time the Albuquerque Public Schools has acknowledged the importance of media literacy for its students by including performance benchmarks having to do with mass communication concepts in its newly-drafted standards. My objective is to provide middle school educators with interesting approaches for teaching basic concepts in the study of mass communication. There are fruitful findings in the world of research when it comes to brain-compatible learning, and my intention is to provide some details about the basic principles of those findings and then present practical applications in the classroom using Media Literacy as an impetus. Academic Setting School Setting Garfield Middle School is located in a now-predominantly Hispanic community whose families have attended Garfield since its opening in 1950. Two-thirds of the student body qualify for free or reduced lunch and breakfast programs. Terra Nova scores are lower than the district average in most subjects. The school provides bilingual instruction, special education services (for roughly a sixth of the student population) and Title I benefits, for all of which the school receives federal and state funding.

LEARN@rmpbs.org Rocky Mountain PBS Media Literacy Resources TV Confidential A program for 7th-9th grade students and their teachers and parents. An increasingly important topic for students in the new millennium, media literacy means the ability to critically view what one sees in all forms of media. From television shows to the Internet, the media influence the way we view our world. Television in particular, in 99 percent of homes in the United States, plays a huge part in defining our values and beliefs as a society. Learning to be a critical viewer is thus imperative or we run the risk of allowing the business behind television to create our values. Rather than censoring all television, proponents of media literacy encourage us to equip students with the critical thinking skills needed to best understand the messages received on television. Media literacy empowers viewers to examine their relationship with the media and better understand the business behind television, allowing them to make their own determinations of their values within the context of this new knowledge. Media Literacy at Rocky Mountain PBS Funded by The Colorado Trust , the Rocky Mountain PBS Media Literacy Project developed television programs, teaching materials, and training to help teachers and parents assist young people in establishing lifetime viewing and thinking skills, and developing a clear understanding of media's influence in their lives.

Serving Educators Around The World Media Literacy Review Media Literacy Online Project - College of Education - University of Oregon - Eugene Teaching With and About Film and Television: Integrating Media Literacy Concepts into Management Education Author:Dr. Renee Hobbs Associate Professor of Communication Babson College, Wellesley, MA Film and television's influence on individuals and society is now so obvious that it is scarcely necessary to provide a rationale for examining their importance. Even in casual conversations, people are apt to make note of the impact of television on voting patterns, use idioms they learned from popular films, discuss relationships by referring to the similar problems of TV characters of celebrities, talk about consumer products in the language of advertising, and demonstrate that their understanding of the world around them has been shaped by the images and stories received from television news, newsmagazines shows, and TV and radio talk shows. The debate about whether the mass media merely reflects or more powerfully shapes social values, norms and behaviors has become nearly extinct in popular culture since the late 1980s; the debaters have recognized that television has so thoroughly permeated the culture as to be inseparable from it. Still, by and large, both scholarly research and public discourse about television's impact on individuals and society has focused on the nature of the content of television messages. Public attention to the always escalating sensationalism of media content has manifest itself in concerns about the required car explosions, sadism, terror and graphic violence in popular films; the litany of exploitive crime stories on local news; the normalization of dysfunctional relationships on talk shows; the ubiquity of advertising and promotion for alcohol and tobacco consumption, and more.

How to "Read" Television: Teaching Students to View TV Critically. ERIC Digest. In light of the current explosion of mass media products and technology, most education practitioners would probably agree about the urgent need for students to develop critical viewing abilities along with critical thinking abilities. At the close of UNESCO's 1982 International Symposium on Media Education, the representatives of the 19 countries in attendance issued a unanimous declaration that called upon competent authorities to "initiate and support comprehensive media education programsfrom pre-school to university level, and in adult educationthe purpose of which is to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes which will encourage the growth of critical awareness and, consequently, of greater competence among the users of electronic and print media. Ideally, such programs should include the analysis of media products, the use of media as means of creative expression, and effective use of and participation in available media channels. Training courses should be developed for teachers and intermediaries both to increase their knowledge and understanding of the media and train them in appropriate teaching methods."
