Media Madness An
Insider's Guide to Media
Dominic Ali, Michael Cho, Kids Can Press ISBN: 1-55337-175-5
With lively illustrations, this 64 page book (aimed at 10-14 year olds)
explores topics in television, music making, magazines, comic books,
newspapers, video games & the net and more. (Read
review)
My major complaints about this text are:
- there are no real life examples, like ads or photos, for students to
relate to
- no reference to movies (kids' favorite thing to watch)
-the authors failed to provide links to other resources/websites for
students to explore
- lots of facts and figures are provided at the bottom of the pages, but
no attribution is provided |

Teens & The Media
The Gallup Youth Survey: Major Issues & Trends
Roger E. Hernandez Mason Crest Publishers ISBN:
1-59084-874-8
This text provides middle school students with a roundup of current
information, primarily Gallup surveys, about the role of media ( Internet, Music, Newspapers, Magazines) in their
lives. The book touches on some timely topics such as blogs and convergence. Also included here is
information not from Gallup, but from other sources such as Jupiter Media; the Parents Television
Council, etc. I was curious why the author never mentioned "multi-tasking"
here because that is what teens are doing. What this book is missing are some critical thinking/media literacy
questions and activities to get young people to consider the role media plays in their lives. It also doesn't mention the
importance of media activism or simply turning off the media. |

Feed, M.T. Anderson (National Book Award Finalist)
Candlewick Press, ISBN: 0763617261
Review: This
brilliantly ironic satire is set in a future world where television and
computers are connected directly into people's brains when they are babies.
The result is a chillingly recognizable consumer society where empty-headed
kids are driven by fashion and shopping and the avid pursuit of silly
entertainment--even on trips to Mars and the moon--and by constant
customized murmurs in their brains of encouragement to buy, buy, buy.
Recommended ages 14+ |
