Parker demonstrates that educating for democratic citizenship in a multicultural society includes a fundamental respect for diversity.Trade Review“At a moment in time when our connection to the nation seems superficial and jingoistic, Walter Parker offers us a vehicle to reach our ideal of deliberative, committed civic participation for every citizen.

Parker makes us realize that in a democracy ‘public’ is not a dirty word and schooling should not be punishment.” ― Gloria Ladson-Billings, University of Wisconsin, Madison“This book deals in an engaging and thought-provoking way with both social realities and democratic possibilities―exactly what I try to do in my classroom.”―Wendy Ewbank, teacher, Seattle Girls’ School

SAGE Publications Inc Fighting Fake News
Book SynopsisCritical thinking and online reading need to go hand in handbut they often don't. Students click, swipe, and believe because they don't know how to do otherwise. At times, so do we. And that's a problem. Fighting Fake News combats this challenge by helping you model how to read, myth-bust, truth-test, and respond in ways that lead to wisdom rather than reactivity.No matter what content you teach, the lessons showcased here provide engaging, collaborative reading and discussion experiences so students can: Notice how teacher and peers read digital content, to be mindful of how various reading pathways influence perception Identify the author background, the website sponsor, and other evidence that help set a piece in context Stress-test the facts by evaluating news sources, reading laterally, and other critical reading strategies Use Reader's Rules of Notice to learn to identify common rhetorical devices used to influence the reader Be aware of how for-profit social media platforms feed on our responses to narrow rather than widen our reading landscape We are still in the wild west era of the digital age, scrambling to impart a safer, ethical framework for evaluating information. Thankfully, it distills to one mission: teach students (and ourselves) how to think critically, and we will forever have the tools to fight fake news.Trade Review"If I were in charge of the world, every school would have a required media studies course, and every faculty would do a book study around Fighting Fake News. This book is an essential tool in helping students to be more consciously aware, reflective, and rational about the waves of news and other forms of "angertainment." I lost count of how many times I said, ′Yes!′ while reading this book." -- Kelly Gallagher * Teacher, Author, and Consultant *"Fighting Fake News is a must read for every teacher. I plan to read it and reread because I know each time, I will be able to glean better information. I would love to have the opportunity to see this kind of instruction be put in to place." -- Lydia Bagley * Instructional Support Specialist *"Talk about timely! Fighting Fake News begins by describing the cognitive short-cuts we all (not just the fringe) are prone to—how we so easily fit information to pre-existing biases. The authors show how digital media exploit this tendency by directing us to sources that feed these prejudices. And they provide carefully crafted lessons to promote critical analysis and thoughtful citizenship. It′s the book we need now." -- Thomas Newkirk * Professor Emeritus at the University of New Hampshire *Table of ContentsPart 1: So Much at Stake Chapter 1: The Case for Teaching Critical Reading and Fighting Fake News Chapter 2: Fake News: What It Is, Why it Works, and What We Can Start Doing About It Part II: Lessons for Critical Reading and Fighting Fake News Chapter 3: Lessons for Getting Started: Knowing Your Own Mind Chapter 4: Lessons Using ‘Rules of Notice’ in Online Reading Chapter 5: Lessons for Teaching Point of View in Digital Media Chapter 6: Lessons for Examining News, Nonfiction, and Digital Texts through Literary Lenses Chapter 7: Lessons for Teaching Students to Evaluate Evidence and Research Conclusion: Some Final Words
