SUMMARY:Fake News & Media Literacy for Young Learners
DESCRIPTION:Media literacy remains crucial for anyone who consumes the news. Learning to spot bias, vet sources, and read critically are some of the most valuable skills we can pass onto young learners. Rebecca Siegel breaks down the role Fake News played in the Loch Ness Monster’s rollercoaster rise to fame, as discussed in the forthcoming book, Loch Ness Uncovered, and also equips young learners with some essential media literacy skills.\n\nIt is an unconventional yet effective approach to a prickly, constantly evolving topic. Loch Ness Uncovered is an extensively researched, myth-busting account of the world’s most famous monster hoax—the Loch Ness Monster—and a cautionary tale about the dangers of misinformation. Perfect for readers 10 and up.\nRebecca will sign books in the Children’s Library immediately following storytime.\nFULL SCHEDULE ( https://americanwritersmuseum.org/american-writers-festival/schedule/ )\nAbout the writer:\n\nREBECCA SIEGEL has worked in children’s publishing for 18 years. Three of her books have received Starred Reviews in Booklist, including To Fly Among the Stars (Scholastic 2020), which was also named a Mighty Girl’s Book of the Year, and one of the National Science Teaching Association’s Outstanding Science Trade Books for Students. Another recent title, Mayflower (Quarto 2020) was named a 2021 EUREKA! Children’s Honor Book.
