Tip of the Week
In the age of Internet, when there´s exposure to lots of materials, not all of them accurate or true, high school and college students have to be taught that not everything served to them by the media, Internet and even academic books, is "true". Here are a few solutions: * Record some advertisements, election campaigns, etc. Discuss the "hidden agenda" and the "hidden messages" in them. * "Tackle" the class: Give them a reading list that contains "inaccurate" materials, and discuss it after they read it. The material could be: Outdated research, an Internet site that was written by a company or an amatuer, commercial material that "disguises" itself as "neutral," Holocaust denial, etc. * Present how the same event could be written differently by different people.
