  • Each person interprets messages differently

Your turn! View the following video below and consider the following questions:

  • What meaning do you get from the media text?
  • What elements (music, images) enhanced the meaning of the media message?
  • What elements would you have added, or deleted, to strengthen the intended message?

Please share the video and your thinking with someone in your home. Do they agree or disagree with your thinking?
