During Adolf Hitler's rule over Germany, there were over 40,000
Nazi concentration, labor, and death camps built with the intent of
erasing an entire population of Jews, Sinti, and Roma, as well as
"other examples of impure races."Â Bluma Tishgarten and Felix
Goldberg were both young Polish Jews caught up in the Holocaust,
Hitler's rise to power, the rise of antisemitism, and more. Yet
they survived. Bluma and Felix's miraculous story of survival,
combined with the rise of nationalism and fascism, leading to the
extermination of millions of human beings, is also a cautionary
tale—a dangerous history that, if we do not heed the warning
signs, could very well be repeated.
Today's average youth spends over 10 hours a day consuming media.
Aided by technology, young people can instantly share and engage
with media messages to find answers, get directions, shops or
connect with friends. But access alone doesn't lead to critical
thinking. Media are texts, designed to be read, analyzed,
deconstructed and reconstructed. Understanding how to interpret
advertising messages, check for bias or avoid stereotyping are
among the skills students need to become knowledgeable consumers
and producers of media.This book helps educators understand the
importance of teaching media literacy and gives them the tools
needed to bring this form of literacy into the classroom. Included
in this new edition: An appendix with over 80 author-recommended
resources. Insights from respected educators and experts. Media
literacy lesson plans. Guiding questions, exercises and checklists
for deconstructing media messages.
Examining political campaigns and political advertising through the
analytical lens of media literacy, this well-illustrated and timely
handbook guides readers through the maze of blandishments and spin
that is the hallmark of the modern political campaign. It dissects
the persuasive strategies embedded in the political messages we
encounter every day in the media and demonstrates the importance of
critical thinking in evaluating media "stories." Key concepts of
media literacy are applied to political advertising in traditional
media (newspapers, television, radio) and on the Internet, the new
frontier of the political advertising wars. Dealing with blogs,
social networking, user-generated web sites, and other electronic
formats familiar to young voters, this lively introduction to the
new world of political messaging appeals to readers' affinity for
visual learning as well as their ability to discern messages in
text. Unique in applying media literacy concepts to the political
context while directly addressing students and general readers,
this book not only explains but graphically demonstrates both
established techniques of political "framing" and the new avenues
of persuasion being pioneered in digital media. It will also
interest viewers who like their political news in traditional media
but unconventional formats. Comprehensive coverage of the media as
a tool of political campaigns Accessible format intended to appeal
to students who are very familiar with the visual organization of
the Internet Sidebars highlighting critical thinking/viewing
questions; key definitions, facts, dates, and data; telling but
offbeat and entertaining trivia Substantial resources section,
includingtimeline, glossary, and annotated lists of print and
electronic materials Presentation correlating with state and
national curriculum standards
