[CASL-L] 8th grade credible news lesson

[Lizanne Johnson]

Hi Emma,

I have used the Teacher’s Guide to Media Literacy (Scheibe & Rogow) https://www.amazon.com/Teachers-Guide-Media-Literacy-Multimedia/dp/1412997585 as a resource. The kids loved the lesson on bias: Read The Lorax, then read The Truax https://www.woodfloors.org/truax.pdf  I also used the Urban Legends and False Beliefs lesson. It was very visual and highly engaging. The book has links to power points, as well as other resources. Maybe the state library has a copy. If they don’t, they would buy it for sure.

Good luck and have fun,
Lizanne

Hello!

I am working on some lessons with 8th grade on evaluating sources, and I was wondering if anyone has lessons that they've done that they love and have been successful!

Thank you!

Emma
