Welcome to Media Literacy and Argument Analysis! In this lesson, we'll explore what is media? types and forms. Strong literacy skills open doors to learning in all subjects.
Asking and answering questions about a text builds deep comprehension. Key question types: Who? (identifies people/characters), What? (identifies events, objects, actions), Where? (identifies place or setting), When? (identifies time), Why? (identifies reasons and causes), How? (identifies methods or processes). Before reading, preview questions to know what to look for. During reading, pause to answer questions mentally. After reading, re-check your answers against the text. Being able to answer these questions proves true understanding—not just word recognition.
As you work through today's material, pay attention to the examples and try to identify the patterns or strategies being used. This will help you apply these concepts to new problems.
Take notes on key points and make connections to what you've already learned in previous lessons.
