Asking Critical Questions: Teacher Fellowship Units
The following units were created and facilitated by educators from 8 states and Washington, D.C. who participated in the 2022-2023 Pulitzer Center Teacher Fellowship program on "Asking Critical Questions: Underreported Stories & Media Literacy in the Classroom." Each unit includes a downloadable unit plan with daily lessons, teaching materials, evaluation rubrics, and examples of work by students who participated in the units. These units were facilitated by fellows in spring 2023 and reached nearly 1,000 students. Each unit reflects work by students who engaged with the unit plan.
