I had the wonderful opportunity to give a talk on Career Day at Queens Vocational and Technical HS this past Friday (6/6/14), these are the slides that I used. I also posted some resources for the students here: http://www.protopage.com/ktreglia#Untitled/Career_Day_2014
23. 1. Who created this message?
2. What creative techniques are used to attract my attention?
3. How might different people understand this message differently than me?
4. What values, lifestyles and points of view are represented in, or omitted from, this message?
5. Why is this message being sent? How does this make me feel?
1. All media messages are 'constructed.'
2. Media messages are constructed using a creative language with its own rules.
3. Different people experience the same media message differently.
4. Media have embedded values and points of view.
5. Most media messages are organized to gain profit and/or power.
