Can You Believe It? Tween Book Club
Learn what is real and fake on the internet and social media
Young people get most of their information online. This 4 week course will give your tweens a strong foundation to help them decide which information they can trust and which they can't.
This fascinating book explores how journalism is made, what “fake news” is and, most importantly, how to spot the difference. It’s full of practical advice, thought-provoking examples and tons of relevant information on subjects that range from bylines and credible sources to influencers and clickbait. It gives readers context they can use, such as how bias can creep into news reporting, why celebrity posts may not be truthful and why they should be suspicious of anything that makes them feel supersmart.
Tweens will be asked to read two chapters per week outside of book club.
Books, snacks, and water will be provided while space and supplies last.
This program is geared for children ages 9-12.
