Digital Literacy Outline Checklist & Rubric
The Digital Literacy Assignment has two parts – Digital Literacy Outline and Digital Literacy Narrative. For the Digital Literacy Outline, you will find two articles from opposite sides of the political spectrum that cover the same topic. This process will help you examine how different news sources frame and use facts to craft their Narrative of a topic. The Outline will have you pick a topic, two articles and provide at least six (6) points of comparison. Those points will include at least three (3) similar pieces of information the two articles share and at least three (3) substantive differences between their shared information. In the Narrative assignment, you will expand on those points, analyze their impact on a consumer’s understanding of the topic if they only read one, and combine the information to present a clear and accurate topic overview. You can find a list of different news sources and their location either at AllSides (https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-ratings) or at Media Bias Fact Check (https://mediabiasfactcheck.com). This Outline will give you a foundation for the Narrative’s expansion requirements as well as an early opportunity for feedback about your topic, article sources, and points of comparison.
