Online Information: Fact or Fiction

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Discuss ways to determine if the information middle and high schoolers gather online is accurate. Using the Internet, they cite two sources that show conflicting points of view on a subtopic of conservation. They summarize and analyze the information and share it with the class. There is a website critique page included, and it lists several questions to consider when exploring the Conservation in Action website. (Note: The website's link is not here, so you will have to search for it yourself.)
