National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE)
This page features an adaptable Media Literacy teaching resource from NAMLE and Makefully.
The Media Monsters: A media literacy lesson plan for grade 3-5 educators
NAMLE and Makefully partnered to develop this lesson plan. It can be adapted for a single day lesson and activity, or as a five-day series of lessons and activities.
With the lessons in this resource, students will be able to:
- Define “media” and identify at least three different types of media they consume regularly.
- Describe one or more media monster behaviors and explain why they can be unhelpful.
- Identify one or more media monster behaviors they've exhibited in their own life and what questions they can ask to combat that behavior.
