Opinion, bias and fact checking – KS1
- The course will look at persuasion strategies used in texts to help KS1 fully understand what is being said.
- We will look at how we can fact check that a text is correct and how they can fact check this.
- We will also look at texts that are fiction and how the text tells us this eg traditional tales and the meaning behind texts.
- Strategies will be given to use in the classroom so that children become aware of how vocabulary is being used to influence thinking.
