Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Interpreting and evaluating what you read: finding meaning not said outright, judging credibility, spotting the language of adverts, knowing that a good news report gives facts without opinion, and checking before sharing. It matches indicator ท 1.1 ป.6/4 (separate fact from opinion in what is read); question 3, on advert language, links to ท 3.1 ป.6/3 (judging the credibility of adverts).

What's in the worksheet

6 questions, multiple choice with three options each - Interpretation is finding the meaning not said outright - Adverts use words that stir feelings, and overstatement - A good news report gives the facts with no opinion - With information you are unsure of, check other sources first (distractor: pass it on at once)

How to use it in class

Use it in a media-literacy unit before children analyse real adverts. 5-6 minutes in teams. After question 3, show an advert for a snack or toy and have teams race to find the overstated words. After question 5, ask what shared messages they have received that turned out to be false. You can link it to a class and record it in the gradebook.

Common sticking points

- Question 1: choosing reading every word aloud clearly, confusing interpretation with reading aloud. Give a short idiom to interpret as an example. - Question 3: choosing statistics and nothing else, having seen adverts quote numbers. Point out that numbers in adverts persuade too. - Question 6: choosing it is faster, taking analysis to mean better. Stress that analytical reading is usually slower because you take the text apart.
