- More about Fighting Fake News: Teaching Students to Identify and Interrogate Information Pollution
Critical thinking and online reading need to go hand in hand, but students often don't know how to do otherwise. Fighting Fake News helps students model how to read, myth-bust, truth-test, and respond in ways that lead to wisdom rather than reactivity. The lessons provide engaging, collaborative reading and discussion experiences so students can notice how teacher and peers read digital content, identify the author background, stress-test the facts, and use Readers Rules of Notice to learn to identify common rhetorical devices used to influence the reader.

Critical thinking and online reading are essential skills, but they often go hand in hand. Students often rely on clicks, swipes, and beliefs without understanding how to critically evaluate information. This can lead to the spread of fake news and misinformation.
Fighting Fake News is a valuable resource that helps educators model how to read, myth-bust, truth-test, and respond in ways that lead to wisdom rather than reactivity. Regardless of the content being taught, the lessons showcased here provide engaging, collaborative reading and discussion experiences that enable students to:
Notice how teacher and peers read digital content, recognizing how various reading pathways influence perception.
Identify the author's background, website sponsor, and other evidence that help set a piece in context.
Stress-test the facts by evaluating news sources, reading laterally, and using critical reading strategies.
Use Readers Rules of Notice to learn to identify common rhetorical devices used to influence the reader.
Be aware of how for-profit social media platforms feed on our responses to narrow rather than widen our reading landscape.
We are still in the early stages of the digital age, scrambling to impart a safer, ethical framework for evaluating information. However, Fighting Fake News has a clear mission: to teach students (and ourselves) how to think critically, equipping us with the tools we need to fight fake news and promote informed decision-making.
