Teaching Students to Question
Integrating Media Literacy and Critical Thinking in Social Studies
In this time when US teens consume more than 9 hours of media every day, when lies are more sticky than truth, and when biases matter more than facts, we need to embed media literacy and critical thinking throughout our teaching.
Project Look Sharp’s passion, generosity, and open mindedness for this topic is unsurpassed. Come to learn. Come to change. The practice of critically thinking about media and its role in our society will spark you to view the world in beautifully skeptical and unfailingly curious ways.
–Kristen “Mac” Machczynski, GEMs World Academy, Chicago
