Abstract
As part of a literacy methods class, a media literacy framework, Five Key Questions (http://www.medialit.org), was adapted to guide pre-service teachers (PSTs) in a critical analysis of children’s literature texts. Results from the study indicated that the framework enabled PSTs to examine children’s literature in ways they had not previously considered and identified areas of difficulty in the PSTs’ critical examinations. We describe the action research project and outcomes related to the implementation of a media analysis framework with their early and middle childhood PSTs.
