January 10: Winter Art and Introduction to News Literacy

We have a hybrid topic this week as we continue to show winter art—drawings, paintings, sketches, photos, and other aesthetic displays highlighting Winter.

Part Two is an Introduction to News Literacy—we will define it, read some educational literature on it, and browse the 2023 Library of Congress Literacy Awards (United States) co-winner, the News Literacy Project.

Please share your photos, sketches, line drawings, and paintings with us! I look forward to exploring more Winter Art submissions with the group. I will share some winter photos I have taken over recent years that highlight some exceptional snowscapes—during and after a large snow storm.

We will practice online oral reading skills as we enter the introduction to News Literacy.

I look forward to seeing everyone at 22:00 on January 10 at our customary Google Meet link.
