Sommario/riassunto

'The Teacher's Guide to Media Literacy' starts by asking, 'What does it mean to be literate in today's world, and how can those literacy skills be developed?'. The authors answer those questions by providing concrete, innovative ways to integrate media literacy across the curriculum and teach students to be independent, skilled, and reflective thinkers.
