Hi Emma,

 

I have been speaking with The News Literacy Project, producers of the Checkology curriculum:

 

https://newslit.org/

 

They offer curriculum and (for a premium) connections with journalists from major newspapers and magazines. Common Sense Media has some great resources as well:

Finally, ISTE and other partners are launching DigCitCommit.org, which has some great resources:

Best to you and your students. Miss those 8th graders!

Subject: [CASL-L] 8th grade credible news lesson

 

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
