Introducing second graders to media literacy.
Abstract
In this paper, we explore the impact of a five-week media literacy curriculum offered to three classes of second grade students (n=51) during March-April 2003. The curriculum included lesson plans pertaining to 1.) news media, 2.) media violence, 3.) advertising, 4.) gender stereotypes and fairytales, and 5.) media production. Analyses of students' weekly journal entries and videotaped verbal responses to the curriculum are included in this report. The findings suggest that individuals as young as seven-years-old, when exposed to a media literacy curriculum, can take a more critical stance toward mass media.
