Media Literacy

One of our goals is to create students who think critically and question the messages and images they see. The world of advertising is one area that we want students to be more aware and critical. We want students to understand that the purpose of advertising is to sell a product or service and the messages are constructed. We want students to carefully consider how truthful the advertisements are and understand the message that they are sending. Here are some samples of work of work that some of our grade 8 students are engaged in.
