The Media Monsters: A Media Literacy Lesson Plan for Grade 3-5 Educators

In response to the increasing amount of media children are exposed to on a regular basis, the National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE) and Makefully Studios are teaming up to provide educators with unique content that will inspire relevant, rich, and age-appropriate discussion in their classrooms about how we all consume and interact with different types of media. Using this lesson plan, students will begin to identify, reflect and recognize behaviors and media practices in themselves, and identify the media literacy skills needed to improve the ways they engage with media and think critically about the media messages around them.
