You be the judge activity

Grade level: 7th

In this activity, students will learn how to determine if a source of information is valid and reliable. Students will be given seven questions to ask themselves when evaluating a source of information. This activity will focus on mental health information, but these questions apply to any type of information. Once students have learned these questions they will put their knowledge to the test in their first “case” as a new judge that involves mental health information. They will be shown pieces of evidence that all include mental health information and their task will be to determine if the information is valid and reliable.
