More on Fake News

Screenshot of the actual article you're reading

Goal: Survey our new text, read it, and write a précis

Agenda: 

Journal

Survey New Text
Read New Article
Write a rhetorical précis

1. Journal 
What does it mean to read like a "fact checker?" Explain.

2. Survey New Text 
Check out the following bullet points to help you survey the text BEFORE reading. Make notes on your text:

• What Wynne Davis Writes About 
• The actual article (published December 2016, so close to the last one we read)
• Who reads NPR? This is also an NPR article. 

3. Read New Text 

• Ms. Natheos will give you each a copy of the next text, "Fake or Real? How to Self-Check the News and Get the Facts" 
• Read this with your table out loud 
• Summarize it back to each other when you're done so you know you got the main point

4. Write a Rhetorical Précis 

• There is a document in Google Classroom called "Rhetorical Precis: Davis Article" that will help you write your 4 sentence précis for Davis' article. 
• You may work with your table for inspiration but you should still be submitting your own work. 
• This is due today by the end of the period. 

Finished? Make sure you're caught up: 

• Key Vocabulary for first article in Google Classroom 
• All journal responses since last week (prompts listed on the blog) 

Reminders: 

• Have a productive day today. 
• I'll be back tomorrow! I can't wait to see you.
