News Literacy
Sample #1:
Provide students with a print news article. Ask them to identify any emotional language used. Then, ask them to rewrite the article without using any emotional language.
Sample #2
Provide students with a print news article. Ask them to identify any sources in the article (with an "S") and any evidence (with an "E") that those sources provide. This exercise can lead to a discussion of research source evidence versus source analysis.
