Connections between the Guiding Principles of the South Carolina
English Language Arts (ELA) Academic Standards 2008, the South
Carolina ELA Standards, and the IRA/NCTE Standards and Nonprint
Sources of Information
Guiding Principles from the South Carolina English Language Arts
Academic Standards
Guiding Principle 8
An effective English language arts curriculum provides for literacy in
all forms of media to prepare students to live in an information-rich
society.
The skills of critical inquiry—the ability to question and analyze a
message, whether it be textual, visual, auditory, or a combination of
these—are a crucial element in literacy instruction. The production of
visual media is also a crucial element enabling students to acquire
and demonstrate an understanding of advertising, aesthetic techniques,
audience, bias, propaganda, and intellectual purpose. Integrating into
the ELA curriculum the vocabulary and skills associated with media
presentations helps students develop lifelong habits of critical
thinking.
Guiding Principle 9
An effective English language arts curriculum emphasizes informational
text that is relevant to our increasingly complex and technological
world.
Today’s students are confronted with unprecedented amounts of
information in a wide variety of print and nonprint forms. The ability
to locate and use information effectively is an essential skill in the
modern world. In many instances, information comes in unfiltered
formats. Consumers of information must raise questions about the
authenticity and reliability of sources. Now, more than ever, students
need to be prepared to comprehend, analyze, and challenge what they
read, hear, and see before making assumptions about its validity.
Real-world texts are an integral and vital part of the ELA curriculum.
South Carolina ELA Standards
Standard 1 The student will read and comprehend a variety of literary
texts in print and nonprint formats.
Standard 2 The student will read and comprehend a variety of
informational texts in print and nonprint formats.
Standard 5 The student will write for a variety of purposes and
audiences.
Standard 6 The student will access and use information from a variety
of sources.
IRA/NCTE Standards Which Address Nonprint Sources of Information
http://www.readwritethink.org/standards).
Standard 6 Students apply knowledge of language structure, language
conventions (e.g., spelling and punctuation), media techniques,
figurative language, and genre to create, critique, and discuss print
and nonprint texts.
Standard 8 Students use a variety of technological and information
resources (e.g., libraries, databases, computer networks, video) to
gather and synthesize information and to create and communicate
knowledge.
The above information serves as the basis for supporting the use of a
variety of print and nonprint sources of information during language
arts instruction.
.
Definition of Nonprint Sources
Sources of information that are not primarily in written form (for
example, pictures and photographs, television and radio productions,
the Internet, films, movies, videotapes, and live performances). Some
nonprint sources (for example, the Internet) may also contain print
information.
Media Literacy – An Introduction and Brief Background
Teachers may wish to introduce Media Literacy by familiarizing older
students with the five core concepts of Media Literacy:
*
All media are constructions.
*
Media are constructed using unique languages with their own set of
rules.
*
Media convey values and points of view.
*
Audiences negotiate meaning. Different people see the same media
message differently.
*
Media are primarily concerned with power and profit. (Source:
Center for Media Literacy, http://www.medialit.org)
The following questions may be used as students consider various ways
media messages are comunicated.
Critical Thinking and Viewing Considerations:
*
What do I need to know in order to best understand how this was
created and what it might mean?
*
Who created this (message) photograph? (Authorship)
*
Why is the (message) here? (Purpose)
*
In what ways might the image complement the text and vice versa.
*
Who is most likely to see the (message) photograph? (Audience)
*
What methods are used to make the (message) photo believable;
trustworthy? (Techniques)
*
Is there something outside the frame I don’t see? (Omission)
*
Can I make any assumptions about this (message) image?
*
Where might I get additional information not contained in the
(message) image? (Research)
*
What does the producer/creator/photographer want me to think/feel?
(Knowledge, Understanding)
*
How might others see this same (message) image differently from
me?

Asking questions
One of most effective ways of approaching nonprint sources is by
having students ask questions. It starts at the earliest of ages: “Kindergarten
students generate how and why questions about topics of interest. They
understand how to use print and nonprint sources of information. They
classify information by constructing categories.” This is the start of
critical thinking and critical viewing, both of which are part of what
is now known as “media literacy.”
To help students understand how nonprint sources work, it may be
helpful to start by first teaching students about photographs/images;
then move to print advertisements which incorporate images; lastly on
to moving images (commercials, TV, film). Since visual literacy is a
large part of the arts curriculum, you may wish to collaborate with an
art teacher on helping students understand this concept.
Photograph and Pictures (Visual Literacy)
Photographs, pictures and other images exist everywhere in the world
of our students. From books, to magazines, newspapers and billboards,
images are a big part of their world. What do we want students to know
and understand about visual images? How do students derive meaning
from what they view? Students should recognize that photos/images are
texts too, non-print texts. And like all texts, they need to be
studied and understood for how they are created to make meanings. This
can start in elementary school with picture books and helping students
understand how images can be “read.” Photographers/image makers use a
number of techniques to create pictures. Those techniques include
color, framing, focusing, depth-of-field, perspective (point-of-view)
and more. Viewers of photos/images bring prior knowledge, experience
and more to these texts. Since photos can also be digitally alerted,
it is important for students to be able to question images, much the
same way as they do traditional texts.
Additionally, photos and other images can be catalysts to help
motivate students’ writing.

Editorial Cartoons
Editorial cartoons, in newspapers, magazines, and on the Internet, are
another rich source of visual material that students should be exposed
to and understand. Like photographs, they can be “read” as visual
texts in order to be better understood. Not only should students
analyze (read) editorial cartoons, they should also be given
opportunities to create (produce) them as well. Author bias, prior
knowledge, symbolism, parody, humor, and irony can come into play as
students begin to identify these concepts via cartoons.

Advertising: Commercials
Moving images, such as televised/streamed commercials, offer rich
material for young people to study. They contain “techniques of
persuasion/propaganda” which are also found in everyday life, not just
advertising. Every day, we are exposed to literally thousands of
messages, many of which are advertising and marketing. From toy ads to
political candidate messages, to car and food ads: all are easily
accessible via television and the web. These ads can be analyzed
(read) and created (produced) by students. Like print advertisements,
commercials offer teachers a chance to help young people better
understand “media literacy” as well as the “techniques of
persuasion/propaganda” and the “language of television ads.” If you
have the equipment and know how, students can also be encouraged to
create actual commercials. If you don’t have electronic equipment,
students can still create their own scripts and storyboards.

Motion Pictures: Understanding the Language of Film
Students love the movies and for the most part can talk intelligently
about them. But many students don’t fully understand that films are
also texts, which need to be read too. Films are rich texts with many
layers to study and appreciate. Even elementary students should be
asked: how are films made. Film makers have at their disposal a number
of technical/production tools that comprise the language of film:
cameras, lights, sound/music, editing, set design, to name a few.
Students should be encouraged not only to analyze (deconstruct) films,
but also to create and produce their own PSAs, videos, or films
(provided your school has video production and editing capability.)
Photo Story 3 (Windows) is free, user-friendly software that allows
students to create their own productions by adding narration or sound
to their images—thus making a “movie.” iMac computers come fully
loaded with easy-to-use movie creating software. If you don’t have
access to software, students can still create scripts, screenplays and
storyboards for visual productions. Students can also learn how to
write film reviews.
