How might you use materials in Teaching Reporter in a workshop?

Please add to this list!

1. Rationale: connect to history, role of journalists at other times 2. Rationale: Questions in first paragraph provide essential questions for a workshop 3. Pre-reading Leana Wen and Will Okun essays 4. Investigation #1 - Kingsolver quotation 5. Investigation #2 - Bec Hamilton quotation, connect to propaganda (what is the difference between advocacy journalism and propaganda?) 6. Investigation #3 - Will Okun images, idea of citizen journalism (what does this mean, how does it change our role as consumers of media) 7. Investigation #4 - connect to work of teachers ("educate others"), good for final session, use three steps (educate yourselves, educate others, act) 8. Lesson ideas - can connect them throughout a workshop, use four corners activity, show assessments and extensions lesson idea, can be used to help with workshop planning

Other interesting ideas I remember: - Giving out flags so teachers can mark areas of guide to come back to later - Pam posted an article in the "Home" section called "The Danger of a Single Story." Check it out. - Show a Digimed project from the Online Workshop
