According to a 2016 Pew Research report, we are now living in a world where 62% of people report that they get their "news" from social media. With the lessons and activities in this book, teachers will help students challenge how they look at the media they encounter daily (including Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Reddit, and more) and learn to deepen and extend their media literacy and critical thinking skills. Now more than ever, teachers need the instruction in "Fighting Fake News!" to teach students how to locate, evaluate, synthesise, and communicate information.
