DAY SIXTEEN: March 11th

Creating a magazine cover with Powerpoint will help students develop media literacy skills because it allows them to understand and utilize the most appropriate media creation tools, characteristics, and conventions. This activity is hands on and they get to develop their own cover by using media tools. Also by creating a magazine cover a teacher is able to derive whether a tudent knows certain information or not. As a future teacher, I would like to use this magazine cover idea for information we are learning in the classroom. For example, I could have my kids create a magazine cover dealing with a certain history topic. By doing this the students are able to work on developing their media literacy skills while I can use the activity as a type of assessment.
