Media Literacy
Subject: Personal, social and health education
Age range: 11-14
Resource type: Lesson (complete)
A PSHE lesson which investigates what media literacy is and why it’s so important in the TikTok age. Suited to KS3 or KS4, students study fake news articles to pick apart how we can tell if something is unreliable or biased, learn the meaning of critical thinking and scepticism, and most importantly, by the end will understand why social media sites are not the best places for health and personal advice. Students will also explore how influencers stand to gain monetarily from pushing particular products and narratives.
Created to fit the PSHE Associations 2024 guidance on teaching Media literacy through PSHE.
This is all new content (2024) and all editable. The lesson will last you an hour. There are scaffolded activities, a detailed and colourful PowerPoint, clip tasks with questions and answers, information pack, worksheets, literacy tasks, creative tasks, signposting to further help agencies and charities, clear outcomes and also partnered activities. Includes optional assessment sheet and a lesson plan.
It is fully editable, engaging and very easy to follow.
