ATL: Research - Media literacy skills

La tarea

The context: 

You recently went on a trip to a Latin American country with your friends. As part of the Global Citizenship programme, you want to share the following information and experiences:

• location of the country visited (South America, Central America, etc)  
• the capital of the country
  
• population of the country
  
• geographical features
  
• main products 
  
• languages spoken  
  
• activities you did there
  
• other information (typical food, currency, etc...)

La tarea

In order to develop and demonstrate the ATL skill, you will research the aforementioned information on a Spanish-speaking country using a variety of media and present it to the class in a format of your choice according to the target audience. You will complete the task in groups of 3 as follows:   

1. Brainstorm where to find information, target audiences & text types
2. Research information based on Step 1
3. Put the research together in a format with the audience in mind 
4. Present to class (Step 1 in English, Step 2 in Spanish)
5. Class evaluation using Google Form

Remind students to:

• make a note of who researches what, and also what media they use in their research
• put their research together in a format with audience and purpose in mind
• demonstrate their ATL skill during the presentation to class (so include media used, how it connects to target audience and purpose etc.)
• evaluate their peers' work appropriately 

Step 1. Where can you find information needed for the task?

Examples:

podcasts, blogs, tourist/travel websites, government websites, songs, posters, advertising etc.

Step 1. Who might your target audience be? Think of the task's context & purpose!

Examples:

• all students 
• teachers
• Spanish students 
• Primary students
• Secondary students 

Step 1. Which format do you think would be the most suitable for your target audience and purpose?

Examples: 

• poster
• video
• podcast
• presentation

2. Research

Now conduct your research in your group, using the various media we identified in the previous task.

Remember to reference your work, and make a note of who researches what! (you'll need this for the presentation)

3. Put it together and what have you got?

You're now going to put your research together in a format of your choice for a target audience of your choice...

Remember your purpose and chosen audience will affect your choice of format... Will you share your Global Citizenship experiences via a poster in the classroom, or on the digital screens? Via a vlog, or a presentation?

Remind students of how purpose, target audience and text type are all linked. One affects the others and vice versa. 

Remind them to make it visual!
