News Perspectives

Another one of my favorite bloggers is Larry Ferlazzo, he writes a blog for ELL teachers but so much of what he features is useful for all teachers.  He has a couple of posts this week that feature news perspectives.  One is an app, Perspecs, there are both Android and Apple versions.  It shows 3 different perspectives on a news topic.  What a great tool to show students how a topic can be viewed by different people.  The other is a brand new website called AllSides. It just opened up.

Here are the links to Larry's posts:

All Sides
Perspecs

I also love factchecker.org and Politifacts.com both sites check the truthfulness of many of our public figures statements and pronouncements.
