Media Literacy

This will have to wait until this coming Friday's Media Literacy class.

These two examples of ads were tagged for the specific slogans they use but we did not get around to starting this exercise. Instead, I used one of these ads to help the class complete last week's exercise on applying the Key Concepts (of Media Literacy) to a series of ads.

For Concept #2, the President's Choice ad might receive a different response or interpretation if you happened to be a Vegan, Jewish, or Muslim (because of the ham). At least 1 of the 6 concepts were applied to the package of print advertising given out two weeks ago.

An older Health/Media Literacy assignment had us learn that "breakfast loves Nutella." This is an example of a slogan which fails to mention that Nutella contains, in 2 tablespoons, five and a half teaspoons or 5 and a half packets of sugar (http://www.businessinsider.com/nutella-has-the-same-sugar-as-five-oreos-2013-10).

Term 1 work:

Homework assignments are written on the Homework board, usually on GC, and then onto the Homework chart in the class. These items relate to the 2 video postings down below, which relate to the key idea of being RESPONSIBLE for your learning.
