The Civic Circle was honored to lead a news literacy panel for middle school Emerging Leaders at the Montgomery County Commission for Women's Legislative briefing on January 30.
Students discussed why knowledge is power, explored youth-centered news sites, and learned skills for discerning truth from fiction. They also played a "find the fake" game, reviewing news stories that were both fabricated and real. Sometimes it was hard to tell the difference!
Thanks to the Commission for Women for this opportunity, and for the inspiring theme to this year's briefing: "Voting Women Change Everything!"
