What happens when we just believe everything we read or see online?
What questions can we ask when we see something online to help verify the information?
Everyone is going to submit one piece of news
- The news can be real or totally made up but it must be believable
- We will vote on the most believable piece of news (extra kudos if your fake answer hits the top 5)
Everyone gives a piece of news, either true, or fake but believable
Find out the truth!
- In 10 groups you will be given one of the top 5 pieces of news, and be told whether you are defending it as true or false
- Each true and false team will have 10 minutes to fact check and come up with a persuasive argument for their news
- Each team will present their evidence and arguments to the class
- As a class we will decide whether it is true or false information
Drawing the news!
- You will have 5 minutes to draw an illustration for one of the pieces of news from the previous activity
- We will be voting on the best one!
