How We Express Ourselves

CENTRAL IDEA

Community Perceptions And Actions May Be Influenced Through Advertising

As an International Baccalaureate World school, authorised to teach the Primary Year’s Programme, we explore six transdisciplinary themes each year.

Our next unit of inquiry for the year explores various aspects of media and the way we can be influenced by advertising.

An individual’s actions and perceptions can be influenced through media and advertising.

Concepts

Perspective
Responsibility

Lines of Inquiry

The purpose of media
The way information can be presented to directly influence the consumer
Being an informed and critical consumer of media
The way advertising and media directly influences our lives

Action

This Unit of Inquiry is all about the media we are exposed to on a daily basis. Your child may want to research aspects at home or bring items of interest to contribute. They may display a growing awareness of media strategies and messages. As always, we encourage discussion and love to hear of any actions which could be related to our unit.
