In today’s digital age, media literacy—the ability to critically evaluate and consume media—is an essential skill. This guide, designed to accompany our media literacy video, provides educators with tools and strategies to help their students apply a healthy level of skepticism to their media consumption. At its core, media literacy is about inquiry and reflection on the information we encounter. This lesson equips students with the skills to assess the credibility, reliability, and inherent biases of information from social media and traditional news outlets. Engaging critically with information empowers informed decisions in civic engagement, personal choices, or societal issues. By engaging with this material, students will learn what media literacy is, how media is produced, how to identify bias, key questions to ask, and the importance of a diverse media diet.
