Inside was a photocopied article about the powers of a new virility medicine, complete with the usual graphic promises for pleasuring the ladies.

In this lesson, students learn how media influence how we see the world and send intentional and unintentional messages.
This is the first lesson in the Critical Thinking Across the Curriculum series, though it can also be delivered independently. In it, students learn the difference between facts and opinions, and distinguish between opinions that are entirely subjective and ones that can be supported by facts. They then learn how to construct and evaluate arguments.
