TWT2010_21.+Question+It+-+Media+Savvy+Producers

Description:
Plain and simple, students need to have media literacy threaded throughout all areas of the curriculum. The Question It! project was developed for upper elementary and middle school students to create media pieces to teach others about topics such as the validity of online media, marketing techniques in magazines, music promotion, television influence, movie hype, and computer gaming. Students learn about the industries, the people who work in them, and the lingo. They learn the techniques used for product placement, fact versus opinion, appeal and the art of persuasion. Essentially, they become smart consumers by learning how to be media savvy producers.
