Reviewing the Critical Process
Developing a media-literate critical perspective involves mastering five overlapping stages
that build on one another. Let’s review the critical process you’ll be using below:
Description: paying close attention, taking notes, and researching the
subject under study
Analysis: discovering and focusing on significant patterns that emerge
from the description stage
Interpretation: asking and answering “What does that mean?” and “So what?”
questions about one’s findings
Evaluation: arriving at a judgment about whether something is good, bad,
or mediocre, which involves subordinating one’s personal taste to the critical “bigger picture” resulting
from the first three stages
Engagement: taking some action that connects our critical perspective with
our role as citizens to question our media institutions, adding our own voice to the process of shaping the
cultural environment
Description
1. Gather information about online safety and privacy tips by visiting three or more of the following Web sites:

3. Design a quick survey to collect data from at least five classmates.
- Do classmates already know about each specific tip?
- Have classmates already followed the advice suggested by each tip?
- Would classmates follow the advice suggested by each tip?
- Do classmates think the tips are important or not? Why do they think the tips are important or not?
