Teach students to select credible sources with the Source Evaluation Task Cards and website evaluation activities! The task card prompts help students identify quality indicators, along with red flag warnings, located in websites and digital texts. Their digital literacy skills will be enhanced through continued use of the cards throughout the year!

Students will learn to apply the CARS method for resource evaluation.

CARS = Credibility, Accuracy, Reasonableness, and Support.

The materials will provide a structured method for students to examine the resource through each measured area.

Is the source credible?

Is the information provided on the site accurate?

Do you find the text and content to be reasonable?

Is there evidence of supporting documentation?

Implementation ideas, along with suggested website links for application, are included. Students can type their responses to the task card prompts on the cards themselves! All 20 task cards are contained in one Google Slides presentation. Pre-inserted text boxes will provide your students with additional structure.

A CARS Introduction Slide Presentation and Source Evaluation Graphic Organizer will build the background knowledge students will need before using their task cards!

This Google Drive teaching resource is appropriate for upper elementary and all secondary levels, including middle grades and high school.
