Questioning the Media?

Why is it important to question the media?

1. Think about a time you heard a commercial about this wonderful new drug that will make the pounds roll off your body without dieting. Did you really believe the commercial? Why or why not?

2. Why is the slogan "Buyer Beware" such good advice?

3. What sells newspapers and magazines? What kind of stories do people want to read?

4. Write a blog entry about why you have to double check everything you read.

Hi Mrs. Del Tejo,
This asks some very good questions. We can model this with some online articles projected on to the SMARTboard.
