Abstract
[edit]As a librarian at Oregon State University I sometimes use a lateral reading exercise coupled with the CRAAP test to provide students with a clear method for vetting information sources. In this short session I will demonstrate the exercise. I will briefly explain the practice of lateral reading, then distribute a paper copy of the CRAAP test and explain how to use it for the purposes of the exercise, and finally distribute a link to a news article. We will then work through the activity as a group.
Expected outcomes
[edit]- Participants will have hands-on experience using lateral reading and the CRAAP test to vet a news article.
- Participants will leave with a lesson plan and activity that they can implement with their community of learners.
- Some participants will be motivated to create and improve Wikipedia articles about newspapers and other information sources.
Duration (without Q&A)
[edit]15 minutes
Specific requirements
[edit]Participants will need access to wifi. I will need to project a slideshow.

[edit]- Ngostary2k (talk) 23:18, 11 June 2022 (UTC) I am interested in using Wikipedia in my class. I wish to find out the best way of integrating Wikipedia in my class.

- sometimes I help out with first-year writing library instruction in my library--this sounds like the perfect things for it Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 16:54, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- This year I was tasked with training all incoming graduate students who teach writing to incoming first-year students, basically train-the-trainer, and I demonstrated this method for the graduate students. Bridges2Information (talk) 20:47, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

- Matthewvetter (talk) 14:48, 24 June 2022 (UTC) Very interested and have written a little about Wikipedia and lateral reading/ethical assemblages. Connects well with my own proposal too.
- @MatthewvetterNow I have to ask. What is an "ethical assemblage"? Bridges2Information (talk) 06:22, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- This is a term I use to describe how credibility (or "ethos) is constructed by multiple actors/agents in Wikipedia. ; ) Talk more about it in Ireland? Matthewvetter (talk) 13:20, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
