ESPN Radio broadcast a podcast called "Roque" on Friday August 27th under the genre of sports. Roque, a variation of lawn croquet, took the place of croquet in the 3rd Olympics and is now extinct but for the small town of Angelica, NY. Played in the town since at least the 1800's, the game is played on a sport-specific pitch in the middle of town where a tournament is held every summer to keep the game alive. Women are not encouraged to play as a leftover tradition from when the sport was first played. "In the 1904 Olympics when Roque was on the program for the only time, so was tug-of-war," said Jeremy Schaap of ESPN.

Media literacy is the ability to sift through and analyze the messages that inform, entertain and sell to us every day. It's the ability to analyze all aspects of the media like music videos, online environments and the many advertisements in sports. There are three stages of media literacy. 1: BE AWARE. Know what you watch and limit the amount of time on the internet, television, games, and other forms that market to the masses. 2: BE ABLE TO QUESTION AND ANALYZE THE MEDIA. Learn to analyze what you are watching by observing what is in the advertisement and what is left out. 3: KNOW BACKGROUND INFORMATION. Ask questions like who produces the media we experience and for what purpose? Who profits? Who loses? And who decides? This analysis allows us to understand who drives our global economy and ultimately allows us to make better decisions based on our own opinions.

My article is about what specifically media literacy is and how we can implement it into classrooms to give children a better understanding of our society. The article features 7 excerpts from other articles about media literacy, such as "The 3 Stages of Media Literacy", which states "the principles and practices of media literacy education are applicable to all media- from television to T-shirts, from billboards to the Internet". I believe that media literacy, while it is something that is not needed, can greatly enrich a person's life, especially in the society that we live in today that focuses so much on advertising and different forms of communication.
