This lesson was created to prepare students for research projects by helping them realise that there are reliable and unreliable sources. We want students to start asking questions about the sites they are on when researching so we developed questions for them to ask using the C.A.R.S acronym.

Grade 8-9
The purpose of this lesson is to show students that although some things online are presented as fact, this is not always the case. Authors have a variety of reasons for posting content onto the web, and it is up to us as media literate people to always questions the source and validity of what we see and read. Students will begin to explore the idea of fact checking to confirm if what they are reading is in fact true.
