Poster Walk

Guide to Writing an Op-Ed

Goal: Review all of the posters made by your classmates about their various articles

Agenda: 
Journal
Poster Review
Poster Walk
Performance Task

1. Journal 
What do you believe is the most helpful tip in figuring out whether news is legit?

2. Poster Review 
Each article you read includes the following aspects:

• The problem
• Solution for consumers
• Solution for tech companies

One person will remain with your poster while the rest of you circulate the room, so please choose a leader who understood the article well who can explain it to your classmates. 

3. Poster Walk 

• Everyone will start with their own article, but after that we will rotate around the room freely
• Your job is to fill in the information on this chart as you circulate the room:

• Look for articles with catchy headlines or different points of view
• Not every article says the same thing, so find what makes them different

4. Performance Task 

• On the last page of your article chart is your "crafting a thesis statement" sheet
• This will help you plan your work (which you will eventually type and submit). 
• This is one of the longest writing pieces we will have this quarter and THIS GUIDE will help you plan it
• The question for the performance task is: To what extent should technology and news media companies be responsible for monitoring and preventing the spread of fake news and to what extent is the consumer responsible? 

Reminders: 

Have a fantastic week! Prom tickets are on sale with Theresa in the office.
