📌 A task that requires students to think about how what they learned applies in the real world, which in turn increases (easier and faster) transfer of what is learned to real life.

📖 After Class Journal

For this week's journal entry, please link two sources that you come across during your everyday routine in the next few days: a source that you thought was reliable and another source that you thought was unreliable.

Describe both sources and how you came to conclusions about their reliability:

Why, how and from where did you find the source?
How long did it take you to realize that the source was reliable or unreliable?
What qualities of the source made you think it was reliable or unreliable?
