Media Literacy Analysis Worksheet
Teachers: Print this out and distribute to your students. It is not designed to be a scorecard of who won or who lost but is meant to assist students in their analysis of both the rhetoric as well as the images during the debates. Individual students, or groups of students can be assigned one of the rows or candidates. Students should use the blank spaces under each candidate’s name to denote what they’ve seen or heard.
