Our third theme this Media Literacy week is Evaluate 📝 When evaluating media, it is important to ask questions like these: - How credible is this and how do I know? - Is this fact, opinion, or something else? - Can I trust this source to tell me the truth about this topic? - Who might benefit from this message? Who might be harmed by it? - How does this make me feel and how do my emotions influence my interpretation of this? - How might different people understand this message differently? - Is this message good for me or people like me? When we take the time to evaluate media, we practice self reflection not only through the content we look at, but our own life, experiences, and the experiences of those around us.
