Media Literacy
a Collaborative Project of the students in Mr Potts's Media Literacy Studios
Under Construction! The newest pages are challenged to complete three tasks:
1) Define Media Literacy.
2) Show examples of media from your world.
3) Explain how each example demonstrates the persuasive techniques* we have studied.
