How to Spot Fake News Lesson Plan

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This fake news lesson plan is based on one of the fabulous teaching resources created by EAVI. EAVI is a non-profit organization based in Brussels. They work to empower individuals to be active, engaged citizens in today's increasingly challenging media environment.

When teaching news and media vocabulary, one has a great opportunity to teach critical thinking. The online world is full of disinformation, hoaxes, and fake news. We have the power to equip our students not only with language skills but also critical thinking skills.

In this lesson plan, students will:

research information

determine the importance of arguments

evaluate arguments

solve problems

cooperate

critically reflect on their own assumptions and beliefs

I recommend this activity for older students(16+), after teaching media and news vocabulary.

Fake news lesson plan:

Put students into groups of 2 or 3

Distribute copies of the Le sson Plan and Beyond the Headlines Poster to students.

Students then analyze their content according to each of the 20 points and 1 bonus question using online search tools to investigate(I let students use their mobile phones/laptops, or they can use the school computers)

When they have finished, ask each group to present their content and their findings in front of the class and write their final score on the board

Compare the lowest and highest scores the groups received and discuss how everyone came to their own conclusions about their content

Beyond Fake News Infographic

1. Scientists agree that global warming is a hoax

2. Russia claims it can wipe out the US Navy with an electronic bomb.

3. Putin issues arrest warrant for financial terrorist George Soros.

4. A passenger was allowed onto a flight after airport security confiscated his bomb.

5. The US government has confirmed that cannabis can kill cancer cells.

6. Professor Boyle believes that coronavirus is a biowarfare weapon, genetically modified for killing people.

Hi! Got an English text and want to see how to pronounce it? This online converter of English text to IPA phonetic transcription will translate your English text into its phonetic transcription using the International Phonetic Alphabet. Paste or type your English text in the text field above and click "Show transcription" button (or use [Ctrl+Enter] shortcut from the text input area).

Features:

Choose between British and American* pronunciation. When British option is selected the [r] sound at the end of the word is only voiced if followed by a vowel, which follows British phonetic convention.

The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbols used.

The structure of the text and sentences in it (line breaks, punctuation marks, etc.) is preserved in phonetic transcription output making it easier to read.

An option to vary pronunciation depending on whether words are in stressed or weak position in the sentence, as in connected speech (checkbox "Show weak forms"). Weak forms are italicized in the output.

Words in CAPS are interpreted as acronyms if the word is not found in the database. Acronym transcriptions will be shown with hyphens between letters.

In addition to commonly used vocabulary the database contains a very substantial amount of place names (including names of countries, their capitals, US states, UK counties), nationalities and popular names.

You can output the text and its phonetic transcription along each other side-by-side or line-by-line to make back-reference to the original text easier. Just tick the appropriate checkbox in the input form.

Where a word has a number of different pronunciations (highlighted in blue in the output) you can select the one that agrees with the context by clicking on it. To see a popup with a list of possible pronunciations move your mouse cursor over the word.
Note that different pronunciations of one word may have different meanings or may represent variations in pronunciation with the same meaning. If unsure which pronunciation is relevant in your particular case, consult a dictionary.

The dictionary database is regularly amended with most popular missing words (shown in red in the output).

The text can be read out loud in browsers with speech synthesis support (Safari, Chrome).

*) American transcriptions are based on the open Carnegie Mellon University Pronouncing Dictionary.

We encourage students of linguistics/phonetics to do their own work during their assignments and remind them that submitting transcriptions produced by this website for academic credit is a breach of academic integrity.
