What is Media Literacy?

Brainstorm of MEDIA 

You see and hear media everyday! The radio you listen to, the newspaper your parents read, the movies you watch and the internet you use are all media! Media is everywhere.

 MEDIA: is the way we connect with each other 

 LITERACY: is when we know a lot about a subject

 When we put the two words together we get MEDIA LITERACY which means knowing a lot about the way we connect with each other.

Here are a few examples of media…

TV shows

Music Videos

Billboard

Computers, Laptops, Internet
