Saturday, April 29, Civitas hosted a workshop focused on fake news and media literacy. Students got an understanding of bias, what is fake news, a fun quiz, and then they learned how to check sources and verify information found online. It was hosted by Julie Smith. Here are some useful resources for students. (Click here to see photos)
