Instructional Ideas

  • Use the blue teaching tips to guide your instruction and scaffold the lesson
  • Project the tool into the whiteboard to demonstrate its use

Classroom Considerations

  • The fourth part of a 12-lesson unit
  • Based on the previous unit in the module, but you could use it with another unit with some modifications

Pros

  • Provides blank copies of a tool for assessing sources, as well as a reference guide to assess sources based on their credibility, interest level, accessibility, relevance, and richness

Cons

  • None
