Love these resources! For activities I use the Bad News Game, as well as Cranky Uncle and have them play through both then we have discussion + applications. After including my media literacy unit, I truly have students saying things like "that's cherry picked data," "that's the impossible standard fallacy" or "who is funding this?" All hope is not lost as long as we continue having this conversation 💖 thank you
I think this has really driven home as a UK citizen how glad I am that I paid attention in english. This has made me realise how lucky I was to be taught (and examined) on these ideas in my English Language classes, something that I’m guessing many countries don’t explore in such depth. Love this article and its resources - super informative and important.
I agree! I’m so fortunate that my school offered MULTIPLE sessions on media literacy, but I’ve noticed that class plans are slowly starting to place less emphasis on it.
Truly, thank you for spending your time to write this. It’s non judgmental and incredibly informative. I’m not a teacher and haven’t been a student for a long time, but having these resources laid out is helpful for everyone trying to help others develop better skills or not fall fowl of the traps ourselves.
Yes, I’m so glad it’s helpful! Please feel free to save or download—my goal was to provide a starting point for anyone looking to build their media literacy skills or guide others through it :) Let me know if you have any questions or need more resources!
i do this all the time...with the news and even the essays people write on substack (lots of biases and assumptions are there in their argument - no matter how articulate it sounds)
Love this! I’m Harrison, an ex fine dining industry line cook. My stack "The Secret Ingredient" adapts hit restaurant recipes (mostly NYC and L.A.) for easy home cooking.
Read a book called “How We Know What Isn’t So” and I highly recommend when it comes to reading news and studies. I also enjoy using Allsides.c0m and Snopes.c0m to verify and cross check resources and references ✨ happy literacy everyone!
Hey Apryl! There actually is save feature for articles on the mobile: at top right if you click on the three dots, the third option is « save ». I am not able to find articles how to do for the desktop version unfortunately but hopefully you are using your phone :)
