Georgia Media Literacy — Grades 3–5

Curriculum teams in Georgia use this Grades 3–5 guide to scope media literacy, digital citizenship, and news analysis for upper elementary classrooms. Students can compare two sources and explain a reason for trusting one over another. Pair independent reading with structured group debriefs. Cross-check all requirements against your state department of education — this page supports planning, not legal compliance.
