Question 1 • {MDVA} Civics and Citizenship [Semester Only]
Lateral reading means leaving a source to research who created it and what independent sources say about it. After gathering that context, you return to the original source and evaluate it using what you learned.

A URL domain alone is not enough to judge credibility, and writing the source a letter is not a typical step.
