At a time when misinformation in the media is abundant, this book explains the difficulty in nurturing students to become critical researchers and offers practical lessons that empower students to excavate information that will help them learn.
This guide to teaching news literacy explores a wealth of resources and classroom-tested lessons that educators in grades 7–12 can use in their own libraries and classrooms. To introduce the concept of news literacy, the authors explain the steps of the inquiry and research process in detail and examine the Stanford History Education Group (SHEG) 2016 report "Evaluating Information: The Cornerstone of Civic Online Reasoning" and related research studies.
Lesson plans corresponding to each stage of the process are coordinated to relevant standards from the CCSS and ISTE and are accompanied by rubrics for providing students feedback on their progress as well as samples of student work as it evolved through the stages. Furthermore, the authors' anecdotal insights from their experiences in collaboratively implementing the lessons with colleagues are an invaluable addition for any librarian seeking to work with teachers to help students become critical researchers.

      Starred review from September 1, 2018

      Fake news and "alternative facts," the authors say, "distract us from a very real educational challenge: teaching students the skills and dispositions that make them careful and thorough researchers." These useful, succinct, and scaffolded lessons help students become savvy consumers of digital and print media. The chapter "Big Takeaways" gets to the heart of the matter: fake news isn't new, but social media's influence is. Teaching students to judge the veracity of what they read on Twitter, Facebook, and other sites is vital. The authors include many excellent websites, rubrics, organizers, self-guided checks, and quizzes, as well as additional lessons in the bibliography. While the lessons work for middle and high school students, elementary librarians can adapt them to their classes. VERDICT A superb road map for those teaching media literacy.-Laura Fields Eason, Parker Bennett Curry Elementary School, Bowling Green, KY
