This study examines children's thinking about media content and processes in the context of portrayals of gender and bullying. As part of a critical thinking-centered media literacy curriculum, sixty-five sixth graders in the United States responded to questions about depictions of gender roles and bullying in their favorite media content or in content they would create as media producers. A grounded theory analysis of responses revealed students' various levels of thinking, ranging from direct application of lesson concepts to evaluation and critique of media content. The analysis also suggested the conditions under which students demonstrated more or less advanced meaning-making processes. These findings highlight the dynamic and context-dependent nature of media literacy, as well as the unique and varying levels of thinking children enact as media users. The success of the curriculum in encouraging children's independent thinking supports the value of bridging the empowerment and protectionist perspectives on media literacy education.
