Discuss fake news with kids without the politics! Perfect digital media literacy book for children. A JUNIOR LIBRARY GUILD SELECTION A CLA NOTABLE CHILDREN'S BOOK IN LANGUAGE ARTS How do you spot a fake new story? Kids, do you believe everything you read in the newspaper? The U.S. has a "free press," which sets up the possibility of fake news. This story teaches media literacy for children, ages 7-12. Early in August 1937, a news flash came: a sea monster had been spotted lurking off the shore of Nantucket Island. Historically, the Massachusetts island had served as port for whaling ships. Eyewitnesses swore this wasn't a whale, but some new, fearsome creature. As eyewitness account piled up, newspaper stories of the sea monster spread quickly. Across the nation, people shivered in fear. Misinformation? Fake news? Or true? Then, footprints were found on a Nantucket beach. Photographs were sent to prominent biologists for their opinion. Discussion swirled about raising a hunting party. On August 18, news spread across the island: the sea monster had been captured. Islanders ran to the beach and couldn't believe their eyes.
