🧭 Madera source credibility mini-lab

Using a short set of local news clips, district data tables, nonprofit webpages, and social media screenshots about Madera issues, students practice a credibility routine with sourcing, author purpose, evidence type, and limitations. The teacher models how to distinguish primary and secondary sources and how to record credibility notes in a shared evidence log. Students finish by rating each sample source and naming what additional evidence would be needed before using it in a proposal.
