Answer 1

1. Your answer may vary from others, but consider various types of media -- print, video, music, social media, newsmedia -- and would students benefit from studying any of these to be better informed about it? (That's what "literacy" means in this context, having tools to interpret something.) Incidently, the singular of media is medium.
2. Consider various types of digital resources: websites, ebooks, databases, audiobooks as just a few. How would having access affect a student? How would having no or limited access affect a student?
3. Look at your own experience with media in a learning environment, whether it be websites, or videos, or practice activities such as ixl or khan academy among others. What about learning games? What do you think?
4. There's been a lot written about the effect of social media on mental health. A quick search should yield a number of examples. Then gauge the source's usefulness against your own experience.
5. Follow from previous example.
