Hi, My name is Petra! Join my dad and me as we venture into the city to learn about the media messages all around us.
We are surrounded by messages (media) our entire lives—most of them are beautiful! Some inspire us to learn and grow, but some messages are empty and unhealthy.
Dad and I will come face to face with clear and hidden messages in different media such as advertising, social media, movies, and fake news. We’ll teach you about media literacy by DECONSTRUCTING these messages too!
Helpful Features for Parents and Teachers include:
• Thoughtful conversation starters
• Engaging workbook questions
• Simple activities to enjoy
Industry Reviews
"I love how simple yet informative this book is. It's a quick read but allows you to ponder on media and the precautions associated with it. It's overall engaging with a great lesson to be learned. I love how interactive it is.I also love that we learn new information and ideas through a story. This story is applicable to our own lives. As parents and educators, we can put ourselves in the father's shoes and use what he said to our own children. It teaches the process of deconstructing media in a way that both adults and children can understand. It's not just an informative book, it's a guide! There are great discussion and lesson topics. Don't just read it, but ponder and apply it!"-- Jan, Amazon Customer
"In a clear, concise way all forms of media are touched on through a story of a father and daughter on an outing. Kids are taught how to deconstruct ads, websites, fake news, and songs helping them gain power over what they are seeing. Violent content and pornography are also touched on with constructive ideas of dealing with them and each chapter includes questions to help reinforce what was learned. Great tool for parents and teachers."-- G. Mercer, Amazon Customer
