DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES

Pre and Post Assessment: The Pre and Post Assessments are provided as an evaluation tool to assess critical thinking ability before participating in the exhibit and after participating in the exhibit. The Pre and Post Assessment provide two videos, a music video and a TV commercial, that teens must utilize to answer two open ended questions. The same questions are on the post assessment to assess a differentiation in perspective.

 

Emoji Board: The emoji board will be provided with each photo encounter on the website. This activity allows the teen audience to connect with the content, their peers and themselves through a familiar platform that they are accustomed to engaging. 

Poll Question: A poll question will be provided with each photo encounter on the website.The poll question is a yes or no quantitative evaluation tool to assess how teens view a specific cultural issue in connection with media. Teens can also assess how their perspective varies quantitatively with others on a particular issue. This activity bridges media literacy with cultural literacy and provides direct feedback to viewers. 

Community Forum: The community forum will be provided with each photo encounter on the website.The community forum consists of one open ended question that allows teens to engage in critical thinking through community discussion. The community forum provides the opportunity for higher thinking in regards to the poll question that is provided.
