PREVIEW THE TOPIC

Media

Communication is the exchange of information.
A great deal of the information we receive comes
from media. There are different types of media,
and each type has a purpose. Newspapers and
magazines inform readers about recent events and
other news. Radios ﬁll the air with music. TV shows
and movies entertain us.

“Coming Distractions” explores how movie
directors, in their particular form of media, use
special tricks to inﬂuence the way audiences feel.

Think Write Pair Share

Think about how you communicate with
others. In what ways do you communicate?
Does the way you communicate change with
your reason for communicating? Write your
thoughts. Then, share with a partner. Discuss
how your thoughts are alike and different.
