📰 Source Credibility T-Chart

Students examine a small source set that includes a headline, a community data graphic, a testimony clip transcript, and a bill excerpt connected to their chosen issue. They complete a credibility-and-usefulness T-chart that identifies what each source can support, what it cannot prove, and which sources complicate their initial view. Mini-lesson support focuses on corroboration, sourcing, and limits of evidence before students begin independent choices in the next phase.
