Medios y Mensajes
Media and Messages
Media literacy in Spanish: ads, headlines, influencers, and framing — how messages persuade, and how to read them with eyes open.
Unit objectives
- Analyze persuasion techniques in authentic ads
- Compare headlines framing one event differently
- Identify target audience and intent
- Create a counter-ad or honest headline
Can-Do targets
- I can spot how an ad tries to persuade me.
- I can compare two framings of the same news.
- I can create media that persuades honestly.
Vocabulary scope
el anuncio, el titular, persuadir, exagerar, el público, la intención, engañoso, la evidencia, en realidad, el mensaje
How this unit builds
Interpretive skill sharpens into critical literacy; opinion and evidence language from Grades 6–7 now analyzes the messages themselves.

One event, twenty front pages
