Can integrating media literacy into your classroom activities help prepare your students for taking the WestTest?

This is a difficult question to answer, as I do not teach a core class students are not learning the same material that they are tested on during the west test; however there are a variety of ways that I can incorporate necessary curriculum into my curriculum. For instance through studying different text and creating videos, you are helping students grasp and understanding of the text they are reading or creating to acquire a deeper understanding. Other ways of meetings these needs are using math in projects, and basing projects around historical events to help the students focus on that material, or teaching across the curriculum to meet CSOs of other courses as well as your own. Even though my class curriculum is not geared to the content the West Test is based on their are a variety of ways that I can help the students improve their knowledge in that area.
