Can your students spot misinformation before it spreads?

In 5 Questions for Any Text, educator and author Marilyn Pryle shares a practical framework to help students read more critically in today's media-saturated world.

In episode three of this four-part series, we explore the concept of suspicious sources through real student responses, from a 10th-grader's critique of a news segment to an eighth-grader's analysis of a conspiracy theory video. You'll hear how Marilyn guides students from emotional reactions to thoughtful inquiry. Helping them ask, "What makes a source trustworthy?"

The episode includes an excerpt from the audiobook, followed by a reflection and a few prompting questions from Marilyn.
