Although this online current events quiz is based on May of 2011, it offers a chance for scholars to sharpen their media literacy skills and is available on a daily basis on this site. There are five multiple-choice questions covering a variety of hard news topics. Scholars submit answers one at a time, getting feedback for a question before moving on to the next. They can also click on a link to see the day's paper. Consider requiring they scan the paper before beginning the quiz. If you have the time and technology resources, this would be a great way to start class on a daily basis.
