Media IQ “Media and Persuasion” is a topic we cover in late spring in 6 th grade Communications. Media and Persuasion is an integrated unit that challenges 6 th grade students to understand the influence of the media and to identify and use persuasion techniques. The Media IQ game would be used prior to creating their final product for the unit.
