An integral part of the global curriculum is comprised of equipping students to continue to learn. Because most people get their information of current events through the media, the capacity to evaluate the sources of data is vital for real understanding. This teaching unit seeks to address knowledge, skill, and attitudinal objectives through five lessons: "Which Powerful People Can the Students Identify?""Surveying the Media Use in Our Community"; "Discovering How Different Media Present Information"; "What Is the Best Source of Media?" and "Determining What Makes a Good Reporter."
