Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Media & Public Opinion. Suitable for Grade 5, Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

Media and public opinion influence civic life by shaping discussion, participation, and perceptions of important public issues.

Media influence does not affect all people in the same way because audiences interpret information through different experiences and beliefs.

Social media allows information and opinions to spread quickly, which can broaden participation but also spread misinformation.

Propaganda uses persuasive techniques to shape beliefs and attitudes rather than simply inform audiences.

Citizens need to evaluate media sources carefully because information can be incomplete, biased, misleading, or false.

Media can influence public opinion by framing issues, emphasizing certain facts, and repeating particular messages.

Media helps shape which issues receive public attention by deciding what stories to cover and how to present them.

Media includes many forms of communication that provide information, interpretation, and persuasion about public issues.

Public opinion refers to the attitudes and beliefs that people hold about political issues, leaders, and government actions.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What is bias? How do you know fake news from real news? Have you ever read something on TikTok that you KNEW was a lie or misleading? How did you know? Have you ever seen two people arguing about something in society and not listening to each other?

After the Game

How can you tell the difference between fake or biased news and trustworthy or truthful news? Why is it important for you to be aware of bias, propaganda, and truth? What happens to society when citizens are uninformed? What happens when they believe that other people are the "enemy"? What happens when people believe what they see on TV or their phones, but don't check to see if it's true?
