EDUCATORS
The media can no longer be left at the classroom
door. Our definition of literacy must be
expanded to include media literacy. Our young
people must develop the habits of inquiry and
the skills of expression they need to become
critical thinkers and effective communicators
in today’s media-rich environment.
Here you will find a wide variety of resources including lesson plans and activities that can be adapted to your particular situation. You will also find numerous media resources that can be used to assemble your own collection of media samples for current or future use.
Media Literacy-Based Curriculum Available
TISSAM is a curriculum developed by Washington State high school students for presentation by junior and senior students to students in 7-9th grades. The Latino TISSAM program developed in collaboration with Seattle Public Schools is also available here.
