COR for the Civics Classroom
Information of civic importance abounds online. Improve students' ability to evaluate civic information on the internet with these curricular materials. These lessons and tasks can be used in a variety of subject areas, but we've compiled this group of materials specifically for civics educators because they present students with civics-related sources.
Students should learn COR skills across the curriculum, and we hope these materials serve as proof of concept for how civics teachers might incorporate Civic Online Reasoning into their classes.
