The teacher's guide to media literacy : critical thinking in a multimedia world / Cyndy Scheibe, Faith Rogow.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

What do we mean by media? -- What is media literacy? -- What is media literacy education? -- When are questions the answer?: teaching students how to analyze media messages -- General approaches to teaching media literacy across the whole curriculum -- Integrating media literacy into specific content areas -- Media literacy lesson plans -- Does it work? -- "Sounds great, but I don't have time!": getting past the barriers and why it's worth it.

A Deeper Sense of Literacy is the first book to suggest that media literacy is both a content area and an approach to teaching that can be integrated into any subject area. It combines theory and practical application in a way that addresses the most important questions related to media literacy in education today: what is it, why is it important, how can you teach it across a wide range of curriculum areas and grade levels, and does it work? Rather than focusing on how to teach media literacy, Scheibe and Rogow focus on actually using media literacy to teach lessons across the content areas.
