Media Monsters Lesson Plan

The National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE) and Makefully Studios have teamed up to provide educators with the Media Monsters Lesson Plan for Grades 3-5. The lesson plan is designed to inspire relevant, rich, and age-appropriate discussions in their classrooms about how we all consume and interact with different types of media.

Students will begin to identify, reflect and recognize behaviors and media practices in themselves, and identify the media literacy skills needed to improve the ways they engage with media and think critically about the media messages around them.
