1. What is the name of the Twitter account? Do you know anything about this source already? (Although it’s okay to start with something like the Twitter profile, you also need to go outside the post!) 

The name of the Twitter account is Lois Beckett. I’m not too sure about what exactly is on, but you can tell from the posters the middle schoolers are holding they want something to change in their community or the world in general.

 

  1. What can you learn about the person behind the Twitter account? (You will probably need to leave Twitter to do this!)

For searching her name, it said that she is a senior journalist from the Guardian in Oakland, California who covers a lot of serious topics. So to simply put she is an Activist.

  1. What sources did you use to learn about the person behind the Twitter account? How do you know that these are good sources?

I looked at her Twitter account but then later realized that anything can be anything on social media, so I googled and saw her on The Guardian’s page, plus she was also talked about on the Insider

  1. Based on your lateral reading, do you think this account is a trustworthy source of information about the school walkouts? Explain.

Yes I think it is trustworthy because the place she claims to work not only verifies that she works there, but also other things she has worked on
