Five lessons on critical thinking.
Lesson 1: Fake news and misinformation
Lesson 2: Bias in the media
Lesson 3: Logical Fallacies
Lesson 4 and 5:Conspiracy theories
The aim of this topic is to teach students how to think critically, especially as they interact with media.
There is a PowerPoint for each lesson accompanied by resources. These lessons are aimed at a Year 9 class but could be used and adapted for younger or older pupils,
Not all of these resources are my intellectual property e.g. Lesson 2 on ‘bias in the media’ relies on resources from https://www.theguardian.com/newswise/2019/oct/07/lesson-9-analysing-bias-in-the-news. However, when other resources were used I have created various classroom activities to make the resources accessible and engaging for the classroom.
These two lessons will teach students how to identify conspiracy theories and examine why they are appealing to some groups of people.
The main activity is Uses four A3 information sheets about different conspiracies and asks the pupils to create an Information poster about one of them which explains how they were able to identify it was a conspiracy theory.
Aim: To to identify common errors used within conspiracy theories.
The target audience is for year 9s but appropriate for older and younger age groups. The lessons are fun and interesting and ready to go.
