Teachers, save “Media Literacy: Radio Commercial (audio…” to assign it to your class.

Media literacy means we are looking at the media (digital or print) critically and understand why things are being written or sent to us. When we hear a radio (audio-only) ad, we think about what the author is trying to persuade us to do and what specific tactics they are using to try and convince us of.
