What does this 7th grade research and media literacy unit cover?

It introduces primary and secondary sources, fact checking and lateral reading, judging a source's credibility, reading photos, data and infographics with care, and how media and advertising try to persuade. By the end a student should choose trustworthy sources and explain why one source is stronger than another.

How does RepeatWatch help with research skills?

Set an A–B loop on one strategy, such as the lateral reading steps, and replay it while checking a real website. Slow a fast Crash Course episode to 0.75×, save each tip on keys 1–9, and use Stop after N loops to keep sessions short.
