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

I do think that the integration of media literacy into classroom activities can help prepare students to take the WestTest.  A teacher can integrate critical thinking into most activities in the classroom.  When the teacher teaches a child to think they learn to evaluate and analyze.  This should give them the kind of skills they need for tests like the WestTest.
