Media Literacy

This book encourages students to use critical-thinking skills to analyse movies and the movie industry. The units in this book provide students with information about movies as an art form, as a business and as a source of social and cultural transmission. The activities require students to evaluate this information and apply it in varied exercises. Students will be asked to reflect on both the Australian and American movie industries (and audiences) when developing answers to the questions in this book. Each lesson contains activities, quizzes, a glossary of terms and ‘Teacher Buzz’ sections to prepare for classroom discussions.
