Stuff I Like
Our first prompt will likely get a lot of contributions. Students are passionate about the things they like at home or at school: from smartphones, pets and food, to fashion, free Wi-Fi, sports equipment and instruments.
We know your kids will find creative ways of showing and describing the things they like. If you could make sure they tag each post with #whatsbeingsold and #onvendquoi it would help us see all their contributions and we'd really appreciate it.
Try video, too
How would your students demonstrate the stuff they like through a 15-second video? Think about it. A guitar or piano riff, feeding a pet, a comfy chair, even a montage of things they love, would lend themselves so well to Instagram video. If you've never created an Instagram video, you're in for a treat. They are super easy to create and you don't have to take time to upload them to YouTube. They can be created from your iPhone/Pad/Touch or Android device.
If you'd rather start your students on another prompt, there are lots to choose from. You can even make up your own as long as they're tasteful and promote discussion on how students feel about the ways in which marketers target them. Again, this year's Media Literacy Week theme is What's Being Sold: Helping Kids Make Sense of Marketing Messages.
Remember
Just a final reminder to always have the proper media releases for your students and make sure to follow your divisional social media policies.
