Lots of ways to use these classroom-ready resources— start “Media Literacy Mondays” once a week, focus on one media literacy chapter, or use the whole unit. Challenge students to make their own fact-check videos at the end!

Teachers, if you are looking for a way to share current events with your students, take a look at News Quiz, a 15-minute weekly show from PBS station KET. It’s a terrific mix of news and features, and it’s free as part of PBS LearningMedia. #newsliteracy
