Media Literacy – Reading Between The Lines

This lesson forms part of our Belonging and Mental Health series and supports students in critically engaging with the media they consume online.

Young people are constantly exposed to content that shapes their beliefs and behaviours. This session helps them explore what influences trust, how content creators make money, and why it’s important to read between the lines.

In this lesson we cover:

  • Key terms around media, trust, and influence
  • Discussions on clickbait, paid promotion, and misinformation
  • Interactive activities exploring online content and motivation
  • Real-world examples and optional video resources

Created by Life Lessons Education, this resource equips students to navigate today’s digital media with curiosity and care.
