Weeks 6-8
- Work on Group Presentations
Assignment:
News Evaluation Presentation
For this assignment, you will work together as a group. Each group should have approximately five students. You will use Twitter, a social media tool and follow news organizations. You will find news stories to evaluate and you will use the knowledge that you have gained related to source evaluation and deconstructing a source to evaluate ten news stories. You will then choose four news stories from this bunch to discuss and deconstruct via a PowerPoint presentation. Your presentation will make use of evaluation criteria outlined in the book Web Literacy for Student Fact Checkers. You will provide two examples of “fake news” and two examples of stories that you have deemed “authoritative” and provide a rationale.
- Each presentation must include:
- Fifteen to twenty minutes of presentation time
- Visual aids such as Google Slides or PowerPoint material uploaded to D2L
- Participation in roughly equal measure by each group member (Please fill out group participation survey)
- Well-supported argument providing a rationale for the group judgments of their chosen articles as either authoritative or “fake news”
- Additional context to support your decision, including evidence of additional research via your annotations and snapshots included with your presentation
