Abstract: This paper documents an action research project performed by the author in pursuit of a Master of Arts in Teaching. The purpose of this project was to provide data for analysis and reflection to help refine and improve the author’s teaching practice. The action research was conducted in a high school social studies course, and focused on evaluating the success of various critical media literacy instruction strategies in a secondary classroom. The project utilized scholarship and literature examining critical media literacy, specifically, as it pertains to adolescents and their education. Three questions were developed to analyze and evaluate the research data: (1) What tasks interest and engage the students? (2) Which tasks allow students to practice and demonstrate critical analysis? (3) How can the importance and relevance of critical media literacy be effectively communicated to students? The results of the analysis and evaluation of the data sources were used to develop specific recommendations and revisions for the author’s future instruction of critical media literacy.
