23、Get em Thinking! Using the “3 Rs“ of Media Literacy “Media literacy“ is slowly becoming part of the educational vernacular, but many people in our schools and communities are unaware of the topic. How can this field of inquiry be introduced in the classroom, given the demands already placed on teach
24、ers and on instructional time? Is there a quick and logical approach that would enable students to get started in the process of becoming media literate? Today, Ill introduce to you the “3 Rs“ of media literacy review, reflect, and react and Ill focus on how to facilitate students critical thinking
25、within a cultural blur of messages. Media literacy encompasses the skills and knowledge needed to question, analyze, interpret, and evaluate the messages of the mass media. In essence, media literacy is the application of critical thinking to the messages of print and electronic media. Critical thin

My intention with this approach was to create a structure through which to integrate media li

30、ual content of that message. After viewing a television comedy program, for instance, take time to think about the story, its message, the characters, the setting, the dialog, and so on. Some appropriate questions to ask are: How realistic was it? Was there a moral? Was some of the language offensiv
31、e? Was it realistic? Was it entertaining? How timely was the message? Next, reflect on both the content and the format of the message. Writing in a journal can encourage this aspect of critical thinking. Take time to consider what the message was and why you reacted to it the way you did. Our person
32、al beliefs, ideas, and opinions come into play when we evaluate any incoming message. After reading a magazine ad, for example, consider: Do I agree or disagree with the ads statements? What, if any, difference will it make in my life? How do I feel about the content and the format? Who was the inte
33、nded audience? Was it directed at me? Did the people in the ad represent me, my family, or my friends? Did it encourage or offend me? Who sponsored this message and why? Is this information reliable? Does it present a biased viewpoint? Finally, react to the message. Take a stand or decide on an acti
34、on to take in response to it. After watching a newscast, for instance, you may find that your opinion on a social issue has changed.
