Problem
Finally, after you have completed your media literacy analysis, and keeping in mind the information about the algorithm-driven information landscape that Gen Z inhabits, I want you to imagine you have been tasked with creating and leading a comprehensive K-12 media literacy curriculum for schoolchildren in Minnesota. In a paragraph or two, identify at least FIVE core elements that you think this program should include, in order to give schoolchildren a broad and nuanced understanding of the media products they consume. What steps are necessary to teach young people the skills they need to be media literate adults who do not fall prey to propaganda or misinformation online? Think of the information given in the documentary you watched for this week. How can young people learn to be discerning, thoughtful consumers of pop culture in a complicated landscape driven by algorithms?
