The lesson will help reinforce the core values of a productive, positive learning environment. This will work for any subject potentially! This lesson links to 'British Values' and makes a great early lesson establishing the kind of class room we want going forward through the year. Made with Further Education in mind, this could easily be adapted for other levels, particular secondary.
How to Spot Fake News
Welcome to this lesson on Media Literacy - Fake News. You'll find lots of slides here to engage students on this hugely important issue. The lesson is of course easy to edit should you wish to alter any of the content. There is a copy of the fake news article about Bonfire Night attached if you want to use it as a physical handout for group work or accessibility. There is quite a variety of tasks here and even though the subject matter is serious, there are deliberate moments of satire here to highlight important points.
