CURRICULUM/RESOURCES: NIE WEEK (March 3-7)

[Frank W. Baker]

As we approach News in Education Week (March 3 – 7), the American Press Institute wants to highlight its curriculum resource created for 2014, Introduction to News Literacy (PDF). This curriculum is a condensed and modernized version of the High Five 2012 curriculum, offering three units of media literacy activities and lessons. Each unit takes about one or two weeks of class time.

Introductory News Literacy is one of many resources available for educators, NIE coordinators and others interested in teaching youth about news and the news-making process. If you’re interested in what else API offers, take a look at their youth news literacy archives.
