Don’t they Report “Just the Facts”? Part II:

In this integrated civics lesson, students will use the block coding program Scratch to create an artifact that demonstrates an understanding of one side of a political issue or disagreement. This lesson is part II of a three-part integrated computer science and civics mini-unit. 

Type: Lesson Plan

Don’t they Report “Just the Facts”?:

Students will compare the reporting of the same issue from different points of view and analyze the impacts of these values on media messages. Several activities will lead to a discussion of how different people/organizations bring different points of view to many topics. This is lesson 1 of 3 of an integrated computer science and civics mini-unit.
