Using the CRAAP Test to Determine Source Credibility! Customizable Google Slides

Do your students tend to hit "share" "like" or "retweet" before checking a source is legitimate? Can your students determine the difference between a credible source and fake news? Do they know what to look for when analyzing articles, online material, tweets, and images for credibility? Do they understand which sources are acceptable to utilize as evidence in a writing assignment? In a world where misinformation can be spread like wildfire via social media and the internet, it is vital that students develop critical media literacy skills!

This 38 slide Google Slides presentation is just the ticket to help students determine the difference between fact and opinion, between advertisements and information, and what to do to check the validity of several types of sources (image, tweet, article, etc.). This resource also includes a breakdown of primary, secondary, and tertiary sources and how to spot them. With a wacky acronym (CRAAP), students are sure to remember how to determine if a source is credible or not! Quick note: If you think using the CRAAP acronym with students is a bit uncouth, feel free to customize the slides to make the acronym PAARC instead!

This customizable Google Slides resource is INTERACTIVE! It includes boxes for students to analyze the credibility of sources illustrated throughout the presentation and facilitates note taking for the CRAAP method of determining credibility. There is also a section students can use to determine if a source they wish to use as evidence in an essay/writing assignment is credible.
