(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) evaluate the interactions of different techniques (e.g., layout, pictures, typeface in print media, images, text, sound in electronic journalism) used in multi-layered media;
- (C) evaluate how one issue or event is represented across various media to understand the notions of bias, audience, and purpose; and
- (D) evaluate changes in formality and tone across various media for different audiences and purposes.
