Evaluating Sources and Evidence

The lesson “Evaluating Sources and Evidence” works with children on their ability to recognize good sources, reasons, and evidence when responding to new information. The children will define the words “source,” “reasons,” and “evidence.” The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 9-11 years, and is the 3rd lesson in the 1st Year “Critical Response to New Information” unit.
