Start Strong With News Literacy: The Sift
August 25 @ 4:00 pm – 4:30 pm EDT
Set your students — and yourself — up for success this school year by building the news literacy skills students need to navigate today’s information landscape with confidence.
In this 30-minute webinar, Susan Minichiello, Senior Manager of Education Content at the News Literacy Project, introduces The Sift®, NLP’s free weekly newsletter for educators. Discover how The Sift helps you keep news literacy fresh and relevant, connecting today’s headlines to the skills students need every day through quick, ready-to-use teaching resources, including free classroom slides.
You’ll learn how to:
- Spark meaningful conversations about current events.
- Incorporate timely news literacy activities into lessons you’re already teaching.
- Save planning time with free weekly classroom resources.
The session also includes a brief introduction to NLP’s Checkology® virtual classroom, a one-stop shop for news literacy teaching resources, intended to complement The Sift.
