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. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 264 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 04 July 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAGE Publications Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCritical thinking and online reading are essential skills, but they often go hand in hand.
