What kids will learn from this book (which only took me 30 minutes to read):
Primary vs. Secondary sources
Recognizing bias
"Phony Facts": when opinion is disguised as facts, propaganda, misinformation vs. disinformation, etc. all with "tips for spotting phonies."
Jargon
The difference between a medium and a source
Plagiarism (so well done)
Different ways to "attribute" (I always referred to it as citing)
And even a section on argumentation to be able to detect if a source is using logical fallacies!
All of this in a style that is easily understood: not watered down at all, but accessible to this very wide range of reading levels and ages.
While I was reading this, I was often saying to myself, "Hey, I was just trying to say this, do this, teach this, but this wording is way better." Every middle school teacher who has their kids researching needs to read this book, and just as importantly, I recommend we all have our kids read this. ( )
