Critical Reading Book Club Series: Episode 1, See the Source

Every day students scroll past hundreds of headlines, posts, and videos. How do they know what to trust? In 5 Questions for Any Text , educator and author Marilyn Pryle offers a practical framework to help students navigate today's media landscape with sharper, critical thinking and deeper awareness. Her approach encourages students to look beyond the surface of a text to examine its origins, its influences, its purpose, and the voices behind it. In this first episode of this four-part series, we dive into the question of source. Who is behind a text and what might their intentions be? Marilyn shares how developing students' critical consciousness can empower them to question even texts that seem helpful or align with their beliefs. Tune in to hear an excerpt from Marilyn's audiobook, followed by her personal reflections and a few thought-provoking questions to discuss with colleagues as you start the new year.
