Students will learn how to check for credibility by understanding how to site a source. Students will be able to research the media sources. For example knowing the difference between a published article and a blog.  All current event articles will be excepted. However, if it is inappropriate due to graphic content, or if it is political/religious and (Not from an Unbiased standpoint), I will redirect the topic to a new discussion. All political and religious discussions must come from a non bias standpoint, and only be related to the article. This is not a place to discuss religious or political view points. Politics are part of current events and articles may inevitably include political or religious information. We will not expand upon those ideas. Instead we will discuss the result of the event that took place in the article. 

 In my classes students are free to voice their opinions and debate with one another regarding their ideas while respecting one another's point of view. Students can talk about the knowledge they already have on the subject. I try to help students are comfortable in my classroom so that they can be actively involved. 
THIS CLASS WILL NOT BE A POLITICAL DEBATE CLASS.
