Curriculum - U.S. Media Literacy Week

2025 Media Literacy Resource Showcase

As part of U.S. Media Literacy Week, NAMLE is curating a showcase of classroom-ready, research-informed resources that demonstrate how media literacy can be meaningfully embedded across academic subjects. This year’s Resource Showcase will highlight scalable, standards-aligned tools and strategies that support the integration of cross-curricular media literacy—whether in English, science, social studies, math, health, foreign language, or library settings.

Selected resources will be featured as on-demand demos during Media Literacy Week 2025, with a focus on helping educators across the country implement media literacy with confidence and coherence.

Truth, Reason and Critical Thinking: Resources for Integrating Media Analysis for Grades 5-12

Project Look Sharp’s Director of Curriculum and Staff Development, Chris Sperry, will give an overview of free resources – including hundreds of lessons – for teaching about sourcing, accuracy and bias in media messages. Project Look Sharp’s Constructivist Media Decoding approach integrates inquiry-based, student-centered, curriculum-driven media analysis for teaching core subject area content and habits of questioning.

Outside the Frame: Teaching Media Literacy Through Film

To complement the Media Literacy Week Film Festival, Kendra Hodgson of Women Make Movies and Alexandra Peterson of Media Education Foundation will show clips from the week’s available films and discuss how to incorporate documentaries into your classroom as vehicles to explore key media literacy concepts.
