Abstract

The objective of this work has been the development and application of a course on media literacy, taking into consideration the socioeconomic and sociopsychological context of the brazilian children. The first aim of this course is the deconstruction of the media contents present in the children’s daily life. This deconstruction occurs through the identification of the sender, the message and the receptor, and the analysis of the cinematographic and television language as well as the mechanisms of advertising. We have divided the course into the analysis of language and the discussion of contents that are relevant for the social formation of the children and for the growing of their audiovisual repertoire.
