Written by participants in a summer workshop on media literacy, this guide is intended for use by teachers of students in grades seven through twelve. The main portion of the guide is composed of a unit of study dealing with manipulation in advertising. The unit contains four lessons covering the following areas: (1) advertising as manipulation, (2) the power of television commercials, (3) propaganda techniques used in media advertising, and (4) how advertisements persuade through words. Each lesson provides activities, materials needed, a statement of purpose, and objectives. The remainder of the guide contains a list of goals for media literacy, a copy of a television viewing questionnaire, and outlines for several media projects. (FL)
