From a Media Lit Website - Social Studies: Facilitate a discussion of the relationship between media and terrorism . What use do terrorists make of various media? How do terrorists manipulate the news media into communicating their messages and furthering their causes? In recent years, how have terrorists used self-produced Web sites and video to achieve their objectives? How dependent are terrorists on media messages about their activities? Prepare for this discussion by defining the word, “terrorism”. How is terrorism different from any other combat? Then, have student groups analyze the media coverage of a selected terrorist act based on the questions listed here and then share their findings with the class.
Terrorism: a political issue. • We need courage as a nation. Help children be brave!
Adventures from The Book of Virtues • 30 segments (gr 3-5) • No dup rights • Book by William Bennett • PBSkids.org/adventures • Courage Clip
Think about it! • How does the media influence us? • Who controls the media? • Was life different before mass media? • Why is television so trashy? • How can media be incorporated in classroom activities?
