Introduction

A short introduction to the week.
In this module, you will explore the importance of critical thinking and critical reading. You will then learn about a useful framework that can help you evaluate the reliability of sources and you will also practice reading for detail and taking effective notes.

You will apply these skills while investigating the proposed expansion of Heathrow airport, which has been a controversial topic in the UK for many years.

Do you think airports such as Heathrow should be expanded? How can we decide what information to trust?

I look forward to hearing your views in the various discussions on this topic! Please post your thoughts in the comments area below.
