This activity will be assessed and form part of your final assignment.
During this activity you will design a full lesson that integrates media literacy learning objectives with your own subject objectives. If your subject does not really lend itself to this, then design a media literacy education lesson. Remember that media can refer to any kind of media.
Use the ASSURE lesson plan model to design this lesson. When you get to the second S for Set media, identify the one or more media items you will use. When you get to the R for Require student participation you must include the key media literacy questions you are going to ask.
Here is an example lesson which does not use the ASSURE model but will give you a good idea of the kind of lesson to which we are referring.
- Use a word processor document to design this lesson and save it as a PDF. Remember to include your name at the start of the file name.
- Once you have saved the PDF file, upload it to your tutor for feedback.
Assessment rubric
| 0-1 | 2-4 | 5-7 | 8-10 | |

| Require learner participation | Not completed | The key questions selected were mostly not appropriate for the media. | The key questions are good but one important question was omitted. | The key questions selected are a prefect match for the media. |
Once you have submitted your PDF file and your tutor has recorded it you will be able to continue to the next lesson topic.
