Critical Reading & Media Literacy

Empower learners to think deeply, read critically, and navigate stories and media with integrity. Guided by Brainy‑Linguist, students analyze fiction, nonfiction, and digital content in immersive XR environments and create responsible media of their own.

Program Overview

XR Analysis Labs

Investigate claims, compare sources, and visualize author intent with interactive overlays and evidence trails.

Media Creation Projects

Create ethical persuasive pieces, XR podcasts, and news features that demonstrate voice, clarity, and responsibility.

Socratic Dialogue

Brainy‑Linguist guides collaborative reasoning, empathy, and structured argument across texts and media.

“Critical Reading and Media Literacy” empowers Grades 6–8 learners to think deeply, read critically, and navigate a world filled with stories, information, and media messages. Guided by Brainy‑Linguist students step into immersive XR newsrooms, virtual libraries, and interactive debate stages to analyze fiction, nonfiction, and digital content. They explore how authors and media creators use language, images, and sound to influence ideas and emotions. Brainy leads Socratic discussions that sharpen reasoning and empathy—asking, “What’s the author’s purpose?” and “Whose voice is missing from this story?” Learners evaluate evidence, detect bias, and practice responsible communication by producing their own XR news features, podcasts, and persuasive stories. Integrity Suite assessments verify mastery through oral discussion, written analysis, and XR media projects, while KTE Analytics measures comprehension, critical reasoning, and creative insight. Career Compass connects these skills to journalism, digital ethics, communication, and creative media entrepreneurship.
