How can we be critical thinkers about media influence?
Students in 3rd-6th have been learning about media influence. Below are four important questions to ask yourself when identifying media influence:
- Who made this ad, and why?
- What did they choose to include or leave out?
- How does this ad try to make you feel?
- Do you think the claim is actually true?
Students created their own unique flashy ads to demonstrate how we all encounter content every day that’s designed to influence our thoughts and decisions.
