Critical Literacy:
Critical literacy is such an important aspect of the education of students. Critical literacy forces students to stop thinking inside the realm of our cultural norms, and to continually dig for more answers. Our media spews so many lies that we believe as truths, helping students be aware of this will be a tool that will last a lifetime. Biases are all over the news, most times very blatantly, the goal of this lesson is to help students to see this and learn how to sort through it.
Enrichment: Find a newspaper article that shows bias and discuss it with your parent or guardian.
