Importance Critical Thinking: We have been hearing about fake news recently in the media, and a crucial component of education is learning how to distinguish reputable sources from opinion or fake sources. A multitude of articles and books exist on parenting; however, most are opinions or advice and not based in research.

Expectation: Find at least two articles either online or in parenting magazines that take opposing viewpoints on a parenting topic. Write a short summary of the article and then analyze and critique the content, determine whether or not the content is evidence-based and/or biased or fake in nature. The article critiques should be no longer than 5 pages, and copies of the articles or links to the articles must be provided.
