Day 6: Why Facts Matter?

Service Description

Objective: For the final class, we’ll give the students an assessment test to let them demonstrate their mastery over the knowledge they’ve acquired. Then we’ll conduct a socratic seminar, posing thought-starters like: Why do facts matter to you personally? How does it feel when someone gets – and spreads – something inaccurate about you? Why do facts matter to us collectively as a society? How can we as individuals help thwart the spread of misinformation? After our discussion, we’ll invite students to interview a media insider who will be visiting our class as a guest speaker. Finally, we’ll hand out certificates of completion.
