(12) Reading/Media Literacy. Students use comprehension skills to analyze how words, images, graphics, and sounds work together in various forms to impact meaning. Students will continue to apply earlier standards with greater depth in increasingly more complex texts. Students are expected to:
- (A) evaluate how messages presented in media reflect social and cultural views in ways different from traditional texts;
- (B) analyze how messages in media are conveyed through visual and sound techniques (e.g., editing, reaction shots, sequencing, background music);
- (C) examine how individual perception or bias in coverage of the same event influences the audience; and
- (D) evaluate changes in formality and tone within the same medium for specific audiences and purposes.
