2 questions, written answer, each with a worked explanation.

Vocabulary used: evidence, interpretation, qualification.

Problem 1

State the method in your own words, then apply it to one fresh detail.
Answer and explanation

Media literacy asks who created a message, which audience it targets, what it includes or omits, and how its form shapes interpretation. Show an actual application before considering the method recalled.

Use the criteria to compare your reasoning, not to copy the model’s wording. A supported alternative interpretation may earn full credit.

Response criteria

  • Make an accurate, focused claim or revision.
  • Use a relevant detail or a clearly explained language choice.
  • Explain the relationship and recognize a relevant limit.

Problem 2

Correct this mistake in one or two sentences: “A photograph cannot lie, so its caption must be true.”
Answer and explanation

A photograph records a selected view. Framing and captions can make claims beyond what the image establishes.

Response criteria

  • Make an accurate, focused claim or revision.
