Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 7.66 Media Literacy Claims, Evidence, and Persuasion skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Students examine a poster about banning plastic straws. The poster shows a sea turtle photo, the statistic "Our cafeteria uses 2,100 straws each month," and the line "One switch matters." Which option best evaluates the poster overall?
AThe turtle photo is emotional appeal, the straw count is evidence, and the slogan is a persuasive call to action.
BThe turtle photo is the strongest evidence because it is vivid.
CThe slogan proves the cafeteria count is accurate.
DAll three parts are equally objective evidence.
Solution & Explanation:The poster combines emotion, evidence, and persuasion. A strong analysis can separate those elements and explain how each affects the audience.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A press release says a new rule reduced tardies by 20 percent, but the raw data show tardies went from 5 students to 4 students. Which evaluation is best?
AThe percent is technically true, but it hides how small the actual change was.
BThe raw data prove the percent is false.
CAny percent change over 10 is dramatic proof.
DSmall numbers should never be reported.
Solution & Explanation:A drop from 5 to 4 is a 20 percent decrease, but presenting only the percent can make a very small change sound larger than it is.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A school wellness podcast uses calm music during supported claims about sleep and harsh buzzing sounds when discussing alternative views. What is the best analysis?
AThe audio cues can bias listeners by making one side seem trustworthy and the other unpleasant.
BThe buzzing sound proves the alternative views are false.
CMusic automatically counts as evidence.
DAlternative views should never appear in podcasts.
Solution & Explanation:Sound can influence how listeners judge ideas. Here, the audio seems designed to favor one side emotionally.
