Critical Information Literacy Project

Created by Ms. Erica Lyons

ET 630

Dr. David Marcovitz


     The goal of this project is to teach third grade students how to critically evaluate information presented to them on websites.  This project will focus on nutritional websites and more specifically, the Food Guide Pyramid.  Students will be given a list of websites to visit and an evaluation tool to determine the credibility of the information.  The students will then choose the most appropriate site to help them create a healthy menu for themselves for one day.  Students will access prior knowledge and use critical reading skills to complete this project.
