Fact and Opinion: Parents, Teens, and Texting

In this tutorial from PBS, students will watch videos by and about teens for whom texting is a part of their daily life. Then they will evaluate statistics about texting and use those facts to form an opinion about texting, such as whether parents are justified in reading their teens' texts. They will be able to evaluate and interpret facts to form an opinion. During this process, they will also read informational text, learn and practice vocabulary words, and explore content through videos and interactive activities.
