Civics honing in on discerning news, opinion, entertainment & advertising. This was supposed to be the foundation of a media bias lesson, but it's become the whole lesson. Small steps w/ authentic content being shared. @BoykinBryan @Miranda4APS @APSLibrarians @APSsocstudies

6th grade lunch. The students love to read in the windows after they've eaten in the cafeteria. Full house almost every day. #wmsreads @BoykinBryan @wmspta_wolves @APSLibrarians @APSVaSchoolBd

Civics students learning about misrepresentation & manipulation & practicing gathering evidence online to support their conclusions. Overheard as they research: debate about reliable websites. @BoykinBryan @wmspta_wolves @APSLibrarians @APSVaSchoolBd @VATeacher32 @APSsocstudies

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, come check out one of these great books, grab a coloring sheet, fact sheet, or word search. @APSLibrarians @JeffersonIBMYP @APSVirginia

It's all about team work for 5th graders in the library this week. Do you think you could make a cup pyramid without using your hands? @APSVirginia @APSLibrarians

Civics students determining if select photos are taken out of context by doing searches online. One student, "This is too hard." Yes, this is challenging, but with practice & resilience, it will get easier! @BoykinBryan @APSLibrarians @wmspta_wolves @APSsocstudies #BeConsistent
