News and Media Literacy for All
Session 7: English Language Arts
Date/Time: Thursday, April 18, 3:30–4 p.m. PT
Audience: Grades 5–12 Educators, Humanities
What does news and media literacy look like in the humanities? Identifying text purpose, analyzing arguments and evidence, and evaluating information are a part of multiple lessons educators can use in their classrooms. This learning lays the foundation for students to think critically. Our ELA and social studies-aligned lessons help educators equip students with the tools to evaluate and interpret information and current events, knowing what to trust, share and act on.
