Middle school students can practice analyzing the data represented in this map, while practicing their Claim-Evidence-Reasoning skills. This can be used as a warm-up or extension activity.

In this student-paced lesson, students will work with a partner to use their Claim-Evidence-Reasoning skills to fact-check a video from the internet. They will analyze the information in the video for false or misleading statements, and then conduct their own internet search to verify whether those statements are factually correct or not. Each student will take notes separately while conducting their own search, and then compare notes with their partner before writing their final CER statements.
