FAKE NEWS!

Lesson to use to teach students how to detect it.

Think critically!

There has been a lot of talk lately about the effect fake news has on people’s opinions and all aspects of their life. It is important to teach students how to detect fake news and to think critically about the sources they use online.
There are many wonderful lesson plans already made to help combat this trend. Below are some of my favorites:
