    Sage Publishing Fighting Fake News by Wilhelm

    Critical thinking and online reading need to go hand in hand―but they often don’t. Students click, swipe, and believe because they don’t know how to do otherwise. At times, so do we. And that’s a problem. Fighting Fake News combats this challenge by helping you model how to read, myth-bust, truth-test, and respond in ways that lead to wisdom rather than reactivity.No matter what content you teach, the lessons showcased here provide engaging, collaborative reading and discussion experiences so students can:Notice how teacher and peers read digital content, to be mindful of how various reading pathways influence perceptionIdentify the author background, the website sponsor, and other evidence that help set a piece in contextStress-test the facts by evaluating news sources, reading laterally, and other critical reading strategiesUse "Reader’s Rules of Notice" to learn to identify common rhetorical devices used to influence the readerBe aware of how for-profit social media platforms feed on our responses to narrow rather than widen our reading landscapeWe are still in the wild west era of the digital age, scrambling to impart a safer, ethical framework for evaluating information. Thankfully, it distills to one mission: teach students (and ourselves) how to think critically, and we will forever have the tools to fight fake news.
