Fostering Positive News Habits with Students

Webinar
Fostering Positive News Habits with Students

How can partnering with students help us build more effective information literacy lessons? Join Instructional Librarian Tasha Bergson-Michelson and two high school seniors as they discuss how they collaboratively plan instruction about news consumption and literacy. The students will share how they got into the habit of reading the news and the challenges they encounter as they strive to keep up the habit. Each student will discuss the direction she took in exploring perspective in news stories. Come join us to learn from them and add your own insights into reading and teaching the news!

Learn how to:

  • Scaffold students' news consumption to encourage breadth, depth, and thoughtful analysis
  • Teach students to separate emotional and factual content in news
  • Engage students with multiple perspectives and increase their facility with evidence-based argumentation
  • Facilitate peer-to-peer teaching in your library
