TOP TEN

The ASB Bell Ringer exercises are quick, mini-lessons designed to jump start a class period

Category:  Media Literacy 

Materials:  Something to write with/on.

Assignment:   Make your own Top Ten list.  Here is the topic…“TOP TEN PEOPLE IN THE MEDIA THAT YOU TRUST THE MOST.”

Follow-Up:  Discuss as a class the people most often mentioned, and why they are considered trustworthy. 

 Discussion questions to consider:

1—In case of an important national news story, who would you seek out first for more information?

2—Have you ever been misled by a news reporter, or a social media post? 

3—What gives someone “credibility” in the first place?

4—Which type of media is the most trustworthy? Why?

 

Dave Davis

Dave Davis started a Broadcast Journalism class at Hillcrest High School in the fall of 1989. Since then, the school's student-produced show, "HTV Magazine," has become one of the nation's most-honored high school broadcasts.

In an effort to provide valuable, useful, hands-on instruction to broadcast teachers from across the nation, Davis founded ASB Workshop in the summer of 2000. Since then, the week-long workshop has provided training for hundreds of high school and middle school teachers from 47 states, plus Mexico, England, South Korea, and Japan.

In the spring of 2009 he was named the Springfield (MO) Public Schools Teacher of the Year. He lives in Springfield with wife Martha, and has two daughters who live and work in the area.
