Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product Description Designed to help elementary school teachers develop their students' media literacy skillsthe ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and communicate information in a variety of formatsthis book offers a series of 20 thematic units that show how to integrate media literacy into their existing curricula. Each unit's lesson or activity includes a statement of the rationale behind it, specific objectives, content goals, materials, procedures, gradeappropriate adaptations, and assessment tools, which are usually student handouts. The MediaSavvy Student is developed around studentcentered teaching, inquirybased education, problem solving in cooperative learning, and alternatives to standardized testing. From School Library Journal The authors open this compendium of mediacentered teaching units with a rationale that contains every current educational buzzword from "studentcentered teaching" to "standardized testing." However, despite their efforts to appeal to all educators through this introductory technical jargon, they never mention school media specialists. Regardless of this omission, many of these lessons can be adapted as collaborative projects. Though generically targeted to the elementary classroom teacher, many of these units, used as is, will be more at home with upper elementary and older students. Each one is several hours long, with adaptation suggestions for younger, ESL, and specialneeds students. Units include mass media, critical viewing, advertising, and Internet safety, and emphasis is on integrating these concepts into classroom curricula. Practically speaking, it would have been helpful to have them broken down into shorter, more narrowly focused, selfcontained lessons targeted by age as well as topic. These adaptations will be necessary for teachers to make use of this text.Phyllis M. Simon, Bay Shore School District, NY Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
