Reviews
Numerous states have made teaching kids about media messages a formal part of the curriculum. The Fact Finders: Media Literacy series, which includes this solid title about movies, ties into this trend. Here, an author who runs a media-literacy Web site uses basic, conversational language to encourage middle-grade children to "think about what [they] see and ask questions." The narrative addresses filmmakers' market research; how product placements work; and the ways directors' choices can spread stereotypes or distort reality: "A leading lady, even when she's fighting the bad guys, wears high heels." Pop-culture references and numerous film stills will date the book, but the points they support will lead readers back to their own movie-viewing experiences. Like the Hollywood directors who load action flicks with thrill-heightening "jolts per minute," the book's punchy headlines, sound-bite-style text, and bold design will hold readers' attention. Activity sidebars can easily adapt to classroom use, and useful Web and book resources conclude., This set of eight books provides a perfect way to introduce media literacy to students in the elementary classroom.

- o***5 (33)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book was in the condition as described, so I wasn't expecting much. But actually it was in pretty good shape for my standards, I was surprised. Furthermore the book was sent in a cardboard box to protect it from damage during shipment. This box was evidence of the seller's intent to deliver a good product and I will definitely be going to this seller before other in the future.

- h***3 (533)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseHit & miss shipping. Quick customer service response. Requested cardboard mailer for softcover book when buying, was to be a gift. Their shipping is the same if it is a cardboard mailer or a bubble mailer, $3.99. The book arrived damaged, bubble mailer torn. They offered a discount for damaged book & missing shipping request. I accepted but still disappointed, as I will have to buy it again. Last week different order was shipped in cardboard mailer item, arrived perfect no damage as described.
