Let's P.A.R.T.Y! - an information literacy workshop (Year 4 to 6)

Not everything you read can be trusted – let us help your students tell fact from fiction.

In this dynamic workshop, students will learn how to apply the P.A.R.T.Y test to confidently navigate today’s information-rich world. Through interactive activities, they’ll develop critical thinking skills, analyse news, advertisements and websites, and learn how to scrutinise sources to separate fact from fiction.

The P.A.R.T.Y test helps students evaluate information by considering:

Purpose: why was this content created?
Author: who created it and are they credible?
References: are there reliable sources to support it?
Time: is the information current and relevant?
You: How does this content make you feel? Does it seem true to you?

Workshop notes:

• Students will receive a worksheet with activities to complete during the workshop.
• This free, 40 minute workshop is open to all schools and will be live-streamed via Microsoft Teams.
