This 2-hour lesson plan helps students compare the difference between news and opinions to determine how an article affects opposing viewpoints. Using an adapted lesson from The Stanford History Education Group’s Civic Online Reasoning website, students will design an engaging, professional-looking infographic that conveys this information using Adobe Photoshop.
Adobe Photoshop allows students to easily and effortlessly create stunning visual graphics to demonstrate ideas in a meaningful way. As a secondary option, Adobe Spark Post can be used to also create the infographic.
