Comparing Real Families to TV Families

By MediaSmartsLast updated 2024/3

Description

In this lesson, students delve into how media constructs reality through the lens of TV families, paralleling them with their real-life counterparts—personal and peer families. The session commences with a survey of students’ beloved family-oriented TV shows and their allures. Organized in groups, students opt for a family-centered show to monitor and assess. Post presentations, students deliberate on whether the show accurately mirrors real families and relationships.
