Modestas Paulauskas was the captain of the USSR basketball team in 1972. The new movie ("3 seconds")is showed that Modest was not a captain.
I with students  read other information at first, after that we compared to other sources of information.

I would share this video (one produced by the BBC for April fools many years ago). I would encourage my students to search around the topic to verify whether it was supported by other sources. The fact that this was reported by a seemingly credible news source could then lead to a discussion of how even credible sources can sometimes pick up fake news stories and it is always important to check, if something doesn't seem quite right.

Numerous titles in the press are not real, according to reality. For example, it's a title with a death, a picture, and reading the article turns out to be nothing real

We could go through a PP with the Twitter feeds from that day - Olly Muirs was famously involved it making the situation worse and he is well loved by YP.
Play Chinese Whispers around the class room.
Misinformation.
Bias and the manipulation of facts.
Use CARS on the article below and they can deconstruct the article.

Explain why we pride ourselves on being impartial and why our social media channels do not encourage controversial conversations just for hits.

I would show this news about the death of a famous Romanian actor, acting in shows for children. After reading the news they should look for other similar news about the topic, check the source, the author and then establish if the article is about a real fact.

On the day when the recording appears, thousands of Internet users shared the video and after a few days it turns out that it is an advertising campaign of the Reserved company.
Internet users felt cheated and accused the company of playing emotions. We can analyze accordind to the CRAP and particularly ask :What kind of information is included in the resource? How recent is the information?
What is the publisher’s interest (if any) in this information?Is the creator/author trying to sell you something?

Students can go to this website which helps to identify and label fake or satirical stories.
https://www.factcheck.org/2017/07/websites-post-fake-satirical-stories/ .Then they can assess the veracity of this information using some tips elaborated from SIC.
"UK Safer Internet Centre (SIC) has put together a few quick tips for young people to help them distinguish between real real and fake news when reading articles online".
Check:

Who posted it?
When was it posted?
Why was it created?
What is it saying?

My students usually use this rubric too.

At the beginning of the lesson, I tell students that we are bombarded daily with immense news in the media and that it is necessary to distinguish true from false news. Then, I present the link about false news that appear on the internet. The students listen carefully to the various news, analyze the news about its validity, quality and authenticity. The students then debate whether the newspaper and the press have relied on reliable sources. At the end of the class, I advise my students that it is necessary to have a critical spirit, an own opinion about the topic that the journalist publishes in the news and identify the dangers of research and reading false news.

My fake news activity would be from this page:

http://www.ilfattoquotidaino.it/alieno-avvistato-monza-la-montagna-manda-segnali-continui-parla-lesperto/

The criteria can be:

Aspect

What other news are there on the site?

Is there a lot of advertisement in the page?

Accountability

Is there information about the editors/publisher?

The people named have other profiles online?

The expert is part of an official body?

Precision

The article gives details or is generic?

My students are very young and cannot read yet, so I think that fake images can be considered as fake news, as well as fake audio/video they can hear/ see. They can though be taught to determine obviously fakes, by judging the image , analising it , and doing the same with audio/ video files. Due to their young age, they often do not realize what is real and what is fantastic, but still they can make some differences, especially after the age of 5-6. At the beginning, they can be showed real images of animals or things, then fake/ modified images, so they can easily learn. Then , the same with audio.video files, so they can conclude that not ALL they see and hear on internet is true. I would apply some criterias from CARS, such as credibility, and reasonableness,, with questions adapted to their understanding capability.

The material I use to learn them is mainly made by myself, but I also use images and short videos from internet.

http://sprdex.net.hr/

I would recomend pupils this web site. I direct them to some news. That would be classical apperance of fake news so that they know that there is site dedicated just to this.

Questions:
1. Who posted the news?
2. What is the name of web site?
3. Is URL safe?

There is sites that are satirical but at the end of the page there is a text containing information about the site. Unfortunately, many websites are tabloids and people visit's to read gossip. Not all people know how to identify fake news so it's important to teach students and they can teach their parents. Many parents don't have digital competences, not knowing about Internet Safety. I think is teachers responsibility to teach young generation.

In Italy a lot of fake news are rebounced by "official" newspapers, mainly in this period of elections. It could be interesting to compare different news on the same site and understand which of them are fake and which are not.
I think they can use one or more fact checking sites, (guided by teacher, as they are not expert enough to do it by themselves). Finally we can build a "fact checking criteria list", starting from the ones found here
I think that the Frank Baker list is really useful.

Teaching English, I would suggest this fake news story from The Guardian:
https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/shortcuts/2017/aug/28/save-your-teeth-reasons-to-give-up-prosecco. According to the article, prosecco would destroy your teeth. However, no scientific sources are mentioned in the article! What is the real purpose of the article, now that the UK is almost out of EU and wants to protect British products and discourage import from European countries?
I would use the following criteria to assess the quality of this piece of information:
- Reliability
- Authority
- Purpose
Finally, I would encourage students to find other credible sources or scientific evidence in specialized websites or scientific magazines about the veracity of the news.

Leticia Reiris, Uruguay

As my students are in 4th grade now they do not have an ability to decide what news are fake and what are not. We usually do a project, analyze TV, radio or magazine commercials and their thrustworthiness. They learn that we're being manipulated and persuaded every time we shop and how easy we fall into a rut. Then we get through and talk over.

Not a whopper: Burger King has closed

January 10, 2018

The (Burger) King is dead.

The fast-food franchise has abdicated its throne as the last standing cheapo burger joint at the intersection of 16th and Mission streets following the closure of McDonald’s, which formerly sat across the street, in 2015. Joe Arellano, a spokesman for a proposed housing development the Burger King sits in the middle of, at 1979 Mission St., said the restaurant’s owners decided to shut down on their own.

“They have been on a month-to-month lease term for a couple of years now,” Arellano wrote in an email. “We had hoped that they would have stayed open longer, but ultimately it was their decision to leave.”
My students can not belive this news! They know that is fake news

There may be several goals for such fake news dissemination:

• to harm a particular person

• to create confusion and doubt in people

• to impose other people's opinions

• to make believe that which has not really happened

• to tame society for hatred and aggression

• to collect as many followers as possible

Any tabloid would do for this activity. I still think it is not up to students to be investigators and know for sure which news is fake and which is not, but they certainly must improve their critical thinking. They search for incosistencies (the title and the text itself), unrealistic promises (e.g. miracle cures), sensational ideas, etc. They study basic media literacy through various school subjects (ICT, mother tongue, foreign languages, technology, civic education and others, when they have a task which requires using the Internet)

Athanasios, Hellas

2018-02-13 20:01:36 UTC

I would suggest a fake website about a pseudomedicine.

The website contains statements from “scientists” about the efficiency of the “medicine” and testimonies from “ex-patients”.

The students are called to use the following criteria in order to assess the veracity of this web site:
Context - Where does it come from?

Credibility - Does the author cite credible sources? Is it actually an advertisement posing as a real news story?

Construction - Are there any loaded words? Can you distinguish between the facts and opinions?

Corroboration - Make sure it’s not the only source making the claim.

Compare - Compare it to other news sources to get different perspectives.

Tatiana, Romania

tatianasilvesan72 — 2018-02-13 20:07:14 UTC

I divide the class into 5 groups and each one of them will refer to one of the 5 c's of critical consuming in analyzing the article. In a second moment, each group will share its findings and together they will create a list of the article features and decide if it is definitely a fake or not.

Fake News
Pupils: Our pupils are not experienced in distinguishing fake news and are vulnerable to trust and believe what they see, read and hear. They gain information from unreliable sources such as Social Media and do not question the reliability.
Starter Activity: Introduce the idea of Fake News and then play 'Chinese Whispers/Telephone' to demonstrate how information can be misinterpreted, biased and miscommunicated.
Main Activity: Use the Real or Fake stories from CBBC for conversation and analysis. Following the 5C's approach, we would look initially at the context, credibility, construction and then corroborate and compare with other sources.

After a discussion among themselves most thought it was false and this because they were brought by the teacher to look for the pros and cons.
There is a black list of false information to be consulted on the internet but there are also sites to stay away from, to avoid believing everything for real.

The fake news that I choose is "Pope Francis amazes the world, endorses Trump as President" .
I would to ask my students the following things.

-Check the URL: often we do not notice, but the site on which we are clicking is a copy of one more famous.
-Watch out for statements: if they come from a known person, just select the phrase and launch a Google search in quotes. In This way you can check whether the same words were also taken from other sources; If not, better deepen.

about a greenpeace activitst getting his arm bitten off while hugging a great white shark!

I would explain that there are several ways to assess the quality and validity of a source. I would discuss John Spencer's 5 Cs of critical consuming:
1) context - of the article - when was it written, where does it come from...
2) credibility - what is the reputation of the site, is the site on a list of fake news sites ...
3) construction - is the article biased, can you disctinguish between facts and fiction...
4) corroboration - is it the only news source making this claim...
5) compare - to other news sources and try and get a bigger picture of what is going on

I would also ask students to consider:

a) who might benefit from this article?
b) are there any references

Above all, I would encourage students to always be careful and critical when reading something online, and to follow their gut feeling and consult an adult they trust!

I asked each student to express their opinion on the information they saw and why it might sound untrueto them. They especially liked different far-fetched stories about some of the brightest stars in the American show business. Students were extremely energetic and enthusiastic while discussing fake news, and I guess they got to know much more about the "Fake news" topic than before.

I explain the rules we must take into account to identify false news. I show the site http://www.cnoticias.net/ where anyone can create false news. In the end I advise a reading in the resource of seguranet.pt about false news.
Basic Guide to Identifying Fake News
1 Confirm URL as trusted source
2 Check if the subject in question is being approached by some reference media
3 Identify and validate sources of information in the article
4 Read more than an article on the topic that sparked your interest
5 A good exercise may be to ask yourself: what is the probability of what I just read to be true?
6 Browse the About section and search Google to see if any credible sources have written about these people
7 Observe pictures to detect blatant manipulations

One interesting fake news story could be about a "Greenpeace activist who gets his arm bitten off after hugging a white shark", from the site worldnewsdailyreport.com. On scrolling right to the bottom of the page it admits in small print to the satirical nature of its contents.

“Immigrato senza biglietto sul treno Frecciarossa”. Trenitalia smentisce la fake news da 75mila condivisioni: “Lo aveva”

I could suggest my students the checklist with ten questions for fake news (suggested by News Literacy Project) to assess the likelihood that a piece of information is fake news.

To make the students critical users of the Web I will use some of the recommendations of the media educator Frank Baker, proposing them to visit this fake news website. Students will be invited to reflect on this: Your first stop when you visit an unfamiliar website should be the ‘about’ page. Is the information there neutral? Why does this website exist? Who funds the site? Who owns it? Who runs it? What are that person or people’s goals? Are contributors paid? What is the submission process for content? All of these can be clues about both accuracy and biases.

“Scroll to the very bottom of the page and look at who owns the copyright. Is it an individual? A business? A smaller division of a large business? What makes this site qualified to provide accurate information on the topic the site covers?

“Does the website cite its sources? Are the sources reliable? Does it link to reliable sites?”

This is a news story sent as a link from your friends. The big supermarket is giving coupons with a large sum of money which you can spend in their stores. But, you just have to share it, do a questionnaire etc. You end up buying an application and no coupons. I would advise my students to take a CRAP test. “If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product”.

Cruel joke/news in my opinion....
Critical thinking even when the news are in some portals that are in good reputation;
thoroughly reading , talking and insisting on "Rule of 3 sources" and upgrading general culture an knowledge in all of our students as much as posible.

Last year, the news about the disastrous road conditions in Serbia was published on the Internet . The news was illustrated by a photo from a part of the main road. I would show a photo to students and ask them what they think about it –was it the truth or a lie?

After few minutes I would give them CRAP and CARS Checklist which would help them to reach a solution.

this is a challenging opportunity for me to let my students( boys and girls as well) to reflect upon the fascinating power of misleading advertising which takes the form of fake scientific news.
I will ask my students to research on a site which promises miraculous results as anti-wrinke cream . It has the appearance of a scientific online health journal-
http://it.ret.lifestyleblogger.eu/
They will work on the text whose goal was to sell an anti aging product by using a fake identity for the author
my students will work using the CARS list checking
Credibility
Accuracy
Reasonableness
Support

as criteria for assessing the quality of this source -
they will use the basic questions for critical consuming to be considered consider whenever confronted with a piece of media:
– Who made this?
– Who is the target audience?
– Who paid for this? Or, who gets paid if you click on this?
– Who might benefit or be harmed by this message?
– What is left out of this message that might be important?
– Is this credible (and what makes you think that)? (Source: Project Look Sharp) I will ask my students to use also the google scholar button to establish the credibility of this source. Above this they will research for images of the author who uses a false identity and misleading informations regarding the institution where he is supposed to work as great expert. We will try to reflect critically on the power that such fake news can have on targeted people and how to develop a critical attitude toward such news

I would give the students the idea that all of their posts and messages on Facebook will become public. I would ask them to examine Facebook's policy and apply the five phases John Spencer explained in the video. Also, by this procedure, I want to influence you to refrain from publishing your status and build your critical thinking on false news.

Therefore I would choose a fake news on the famous actor Denzel Washington.

I would discuss John Spencer's 5 Cs of critical consuming: 1) context - of the article - when was it written, where does it come from... 2) credibility - what is the reputation of the site, is the site on a list of fake news sites ... 3) construction - is the article biased, can you disctinguish between facts and fiction... 4) corroboration - is it the only news source making this claim... 5) compare - to other news sources and try and get a bigger picture of what is going on I would also ask students to consider: a) who might benefit from this article? b) are there any references Above all, I would encourage students to always be careful and critical when reading something online, and to follow their gut feeling and consult an adult they trust!

Dan, UK Dan, UK Fake News Pupils: Our pupils are not experienced in distinguishing fake news and are vulnerable to trust and believe what they see, read and hear.

In a second moment, each group will share its findings and together they will create a list of the article features and decide if it is definitely a fake or not. Tatiana, Romania Tatiana, Romania My students are in the third grade, they do not have the ability to decide what the news is false. We are discussing the counseling hours about the advertisements made for children's products that prove to be false many times. Maja Hadžić, Serbia Maja Hadžić, Serbia Any tabloid would do for this activity. I still think it is not up to students to be investigators and know for sure which news is fake and which is not, but they certainly must improve their critical thinking. They search for incosistencies (the title and the text itself), unrealistic promises (e.g. miracle cures), sensational ideas, etc. They study basic media literacy through various school subjects (ICT, mother tongue, foreign languages, technology, civic education and others, when they have a task which requires using the Internet) Irina/Latvia Irina/Latvia There may be several goals for such fake news dissemination: • to harm a particular person • to create confusion and doubt in people • to impose other people's opinions • to make believe that which has not really happened • to tame society for hatred and aggression • to collect as many followers as possible How false news can spread - Noah Tavlin How false news can spread - Noah Tavlin View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-false-news-can-spread-noah-tavlin In previous decades, most news with global reach came from several major newspapers and networks with the resources to gather information directly. The speed with which information spreads now, however, has created the ideal conditions for something called circular reporting. Noah Tavlin sheds light on this phenomenon. youtube Mary, Italy Mary, Italy I choose a fake new and then I discuss with my students using "The 5 c's of critical consuming" Dilajla, Croatia Dilajla, Croatia As my students are in 4th grade now they do not have an ability to decide what news are fake and what are not. We usually do a project, analyze TV, radio or magazine commercials and their thrustworthiness. They learn that we're being manipulated and persuaded every time we shop and how easy we fall into a rut. Then we get through and talk over. Athanasios, Hellas Athanasios, Hellas I would suggest a fake website about a pseudomedicine. The website contains statements from “scientists” about the efficiency of the “medicine” and testimonies from “ex-patients”. The students are called to use the following criteria in order to assess the veracity of this web site: Context - Where does it come from? Credibility - Does the author cite credible sources? Is it actually an advertisement posing as a real news story? Construction - Are there any loaded words? Can you distinguish between the facts and opinions?

The fast-food franchise has abdicated its throne as the last standing cheapo burger joint at the intersection of 16th and Mission streets following the closure of McDonald’s, which formerly sat across the street, in 2015. Joe Arellano, a spokesman for a proposed housing development the Burger King sits in the middle of, at 1979 Mission St., said the restaurant’s owners decided to shut down on their own. “They have been on a month-to-month lease term for a couple of years now,” Arellano wrote in an email. “We had hoped that they would have stayed open longer, but ultimately it was their decision to leave.” My students can not belive this news! They know that is fake news ToniaC- Italy ToniaC- Italy As in Italy we are going to vote in the General Elections , I discuss with my students about the articles we usually read or listen to and I invite them to keep in mind the Consumer's handbook. I want to share with you this important article https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/19/italians-asked-report-fake-news-police-run-up-election Leticia Reiris, Uruguay Leticia Reiris, Uruguay I would use some fake and real pictures and ask Ss to say if they think they are real or fake. (example http://www.bbc.com/news/world-42487425) they will have to research online on some given websites following the CARS checklist. FILOMENA BIANCO, ITALY FILOMENA BIANCO, ITALY Teaching English, I would suggest this fake news story from The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/shortcuts/2017/aug/28/save-your-teeth-reasons-to-give-up-prosecco. According to the article, prosecco would destroy your teeth. However, no scientific sources are mentioned in the article! What is the real purpose of the article, now that the UK is almost out of EU and wants to protect British products and discourage import from European countries? I would use the following criteria to assess the quality of this piece of information: - Reliability - Authority - Purpose Finally, I would encourage students to find other credible sources or scientific evidence in specialized websites or scientific magazines about the veracity of the news. Linda, Italy Linda, Italy my students are very young [pre-primary school] Sometime I discuss with them about this subject but in a simple way Drita Sulejmani, Albania Drita Sulejmani, Albania Fake news is a type of yellow journalism or propaganda that consists of deliberate misinformation or hoaxes spread via traditional print and broadcast news media or online social media. Fake news is written and published with the intent to mislead in order to damage an agency, entity, or person Aura, Romania Aura, Romania I usually discuss to students about this subject and eventually I show them a video for see what this is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faK-JOVOVMA Daniela, Croatia Daniela, Croatia we usualy read the article about Jestin Coler, a man who produce the fake news. (http://www.dw.com/hr/proizvo%C4%91a%C4%8Di-la%C 5%BEnih-vijesti/a-36634904) After we have discussion about the purpose of the fake news, why they can be used and then set the criteria for recognition of them. At theend ss have to find one fake new on Internet. Andrea Andrea In Italy a lot of fake news are rebounced by "official" newspapers, mainly in this period of elections. It could be interesting to compare different news on the same site and understand which of them are fake and which are not. I think they can use one or more fact checking sites, (guided by teacher, as they are not expert enough to do it by themselves). Finally we can build a "fact checking criteria list", starting from the ones found here I think that the Frank Baker list is really useful. Lucia Musmeci, Italy Lucia Musmeci, Italy https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2018/02/13/immigrato-senza-biglietto-sul-treno-frecciarossa-trenitalia-smentisce-la-fake-news-da-75mila-condivisioni-lo-aveva/4156797/ - Credibility Accuracy Reasonableness Support Cristina Elena Voicu, Romania Cristina Elena Voicu, Romania There is sites that are satirical but at the end of the page there is a text containing information about the site. Unfortunately, many websites are tabloids and people visit's to read gossip. Not all people know how to identify fake news so it's important to teach students and they can teach their parents. Many parents don't have digital competences, not knowing about Internet Safety. I think is teachers responsibility to teach young generation. Tatiana, Romania Tatiana, Romania Anja, Croatia Anja, Croatia In Croatia there is web site (link is just below) which contains a lots of fake new. But, it is so funny that many people visit it. http://sprdex.net.hr/ I would recomend pupils this web site. I direct them to some news. That would be classical apperance of fake news so that they know that there is site dedicated just to this. Questions: 1. Who posted the news? 2. What is the name of web site? 3. Is URL safe?

They can though be taught to determine obviously fakes, by judging the image , analising it , and doing the same with audio/ video files. Due to their young age, they often do not realize what is real and what is fantastic, but still they can make some differences, especially after the age of 5-6. At the beginning, they can be showed real images of animals or things, then fake/ modified images, so they can easily learn. Then , the same with audio.video files, so they can conclude that not ALL they see and hear on internet is true. I would apply some criterias from CARS, such as credibility, and reasonableness,, with questions adapted to their understanding capability. The material I use to learn them is mainly made by myself, but I also use images and short videos from internet. Example >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yieym0JyfKg Müge,Turkey Müge,Turkey My students had a project about fake news with penpalschools so they have an idea about it. https://youtu.be/UYc-hd1QSwA GO-TenQuestionsForFakeNewsFINAL.pdf GO-TenQuestionsForFakeNewsFINAL.pdf PDF document thenewsliteracyproject Sonia, Italy Sonia, Italy My fake news activity would be from this page: http://www.ilfattoquotidaino.it/alieno-avvistato-monza-la-montagna-manda-segnali-continui-parla-lesperto/ The criteria can be: Aspect What other news are there on the site? Is there a lot of advertisement in the page? Accountability Is there information about the editors/publisher? The people named have other profiles online? The expert is part of an official body?

Then, I present the link about false news that appear on the internet. The students listen carefully to the various news, analyze the news about its validity, quality and authenticity. The students then debate whether the newspaper and the press have relied on reliable sources. At the end of the class, I advise my students that it is necessary to have a critical spirit, an own opinion about the topic that the journalist publishes in the news and identify the dangers of research and reading false news. Ester Degennaro,Italy Ester Degennaro,Italy Students can go to this website which helps to identify and label fake or satirical stories. https://www.factcheck.org/2017/07/websites-post-fake-satirical-stories/ .Then they can assess the veracity of this information using some tips elaborated from SIC. "UK Safer Internet Centre (SIC) has put together a few quick tips for young people to help them distinguish between real real and fake news when reading articles online". Check: Who posted it? When was it posted? Why was it created? What is it saying?

Dee xx youtube Felicia, Romania Felicia, Romania http://www.wowbiz.ro/stirea-falsa-a-diminetii-cum-a-fost-omorat-actorul-marian-ralea-17503538 I would show this news about the death of a famous Romanian actor, acting in shows for children. After reading the news they should look for other similar news about the topic, check the source, the author and then establish if the article is about a real fact.

I would encourage my students to search around the topic to verify whether it was supported by other sources. The fact that this was reported by a seemingly credible news source could then lead to a discussion of how even credible sources can sometimes pick up fake news stories and it is always important to check, if something doesn't seem quite right. Svetlana, Lithuania Svetlana, Lithuania Modestas Paulauskas was the captain of the USSR basketball team in 1972. The new movie ("3 seconds")is showed that Modest was not a captain.

After showing them a picture I will introduce the CARS steps and explain each one - Credibility, Accuracy, Reasonableness, Support strategy to guide the pupils to choose the right image/news.

Pedro, Portugal

pedro_dias1 — 2018-02-15 23:45:37 UTC

First, to set the stage for the activity, I would play a small trick on my students: the website www.cnoticias.net/ is a place to create fake news/jokes to be shared on Facebook; I created a fake news (complete with an actual photo of our school) stating that the students of the 8th grade, class C, are being suspended by the school board after allegedly assaulting younger students. I would show them the article (1) and get a discussion going. Main points: this is obviously false, because you know you didn't do it; but, what if your parents see it on Facebook? This introductory activity is designed to raise awareness to the fact that fake news do exist and can have unintended consequences. We would then analyse a couple of examples, like the one (2) where Denzel Washington is said to endorse President Trump. I would draw their attention to the "Five C's of critical consuming" (according to John Spencer):
Context, Credibility
, Construction
, Corroboration
, Compare. Possibly, in a cross-curricular activity, I would have the Portuguese teacher discuss with them the elements of the journalistic discourse, to see how many of those elements are absent from these "news".

The age group I'm researching are 12 - 18
Rather than presenting them with an example of fake news I would ask them to research it themselves and then bring to class one fake and one real story.
We would then have a discussion using the CARS list, (Credibility, Accuracy Reasonableness, Support) or maybe for older students a more in-depth using the 5 C's.
Each student would present their 2 stories and the rest of the students would then analyse each and determine which is fake and why.

For large groups this could be done in small teams to save time.

I would start by asking them to bring a fake and a true story to class.
We would then have a discussion using the CARS list (Credibility, Precision, Reasonableness, Support) and for the older students a more detailed use of the 5 C.
Each student presents his 2 stories (maybe on politicians, as in Italy is in fashion) and the rest of the students analyze them by determining which is false and why, simulating a Debate on the stories.

– Who made this?
– Who is the target audience?
– Who paid for this? Or, who gets paid if you click on this?
– Who might benefit or be harmed by this message?
– What is left out of this message that might be important?
– Is this credible (and what makes you think that)?

Then I would read with them the Decalogue by the Italian Ministry of Education and invite them to reflect on criterias such as:

- to ask themselves how reasonable is to ask help for your child sharing a photo of him suffering;
- to ask the sourcefor convincing evidence for the claims made.

I will propose it again because I think it is something they are interested in and they can easily be involved in. https://www.huzlers.com/mcdonalds-employee-fired-for-placing-his-mixtape-in-childrens-happy-meals/

https://aziacasa.info/21-marele-maestru-gheorghe-urschi-a-decedat-azi-diminea-pe-patul-de-spital.html provides news about a great actor who is not dead yet. I would give the students the list of questions for them to discover whether the site is good or not:

o How recent is the information?

o How recently has the website been updated?

o Is it current enough for your topic?

o What kind of information is included in the resource?

o Is content of the resource primarily opinion? Is is balanced?

o Does the creator provide references or sources for data or quotations?

o Who is the creator or author?

o What are the credentials?

o Who is the published or sponsor?

o Are they reputable?

o What is the publisher’s interest (if any) in this information?

o Are there advertisements on the website?

o Is this fact or opinion?

o Is it biased?

o Is the creator/author trying to sell you something?

The article is in Italian,the mother tongue of my students .It is a starting point for the lesson as many teenagers are obsessed by keeping fit. I'll ask them to read the article and then I'll invite them to work on the article following the CARS checklist
Credibility
Accuracy
Reasonableness
Support
The main objective is to invite them to be careful if they want to lose weight.

Some weeks ago, when Italy was out of th World Cup finals, the following news starting circulating on FB - saying that Senegal had retired from the World Cup and thus Italy would be asked to join. The website sharing the news was an Italian site called 'Rutto Sport', which is a spoof of another, legitimate website called 'Tutto Sport'. Of course, many people believed this fake news because 'Rutto Sport' sounds a lot like 'Tutto Sport'. For the Italians on the course, here is the link:

My pupils are very young so they believe that everything they read online is true. My job is to teach them to recognize fake news. Together we surf the Internet to find some news and they have to answer some questions like: Who is the author, what is the date of publication, check the url of web site, they have to read whole web page and if in doubt they have to ask me or someone else to help them if the page has fake news.

It is about recycling.

I choose it because I think it is a topic that they already know , so they can have some Knowledge to critically evaluate the material.

They could ask these questions:

How recent is the information? It doesn't found any information (Currency)

I would pick an age appropriate article and I would use the CARS acronym with them (with older students I might use the CRAP acronym, since it's actually pretty funny and an easy to remember acronym for the topic). I would go through CARS with them, making sure they understand what each word means and then work through the article together as a class. TO extend their learning, I would give them examples of both fake and real news and ask them the determine which is which and why, using what we learned in class.

Vesna, Primary school Barilović Vesna, Primary school Barilović Our students are from 7 to 14 years old. Different access is necessary for the younger and older age. It is important to inform the students about false news and instruct them in ways to check if information is reliable. Wikipedia is a site that students like to use and information is not always accurate. Christina Skiada, Greece Christina Skiada, Greece We are at the middle of a cold winter in Europe. On news blogs there is an article saying "Is an Ice Age coming?" (the article in Greek: https://siriusanews.blogspot.gr/2017/02/2018-80.html). Pupils shall read the article and try to find out whether it is true or fake using a) the CRAP test, b) the site http://ellinikahoaxes.gr and c) the site http://www.hoaxorfact.com. They will make a short report on the facts that leaded them to the one or other conclusion. Andra, Romania Andra, Romania I recommend http://factitious.augamestudio.com/#/ It is a game that you can use during your classes in order to distinguish fake news from real news. It is interactive and fun and also a great ressource regarding fake news. Corina Diana Teleagă, Brașov, România Corina Diana Teleagă, Brașov, România a) One of the most frequent fake news is sharing photos with ill children and asking for financial help. b) I'd expect them: - to find out if the source is credible; - to search for exact details as: date, names etc.; - to ask themselves how reasonable is to ask help for your child sharing a photo of him suffering; - to ask the sourcefor convincing evidence for the claims made. Vassiliki Boltsi, Greece Vassiliki Boltsi, Greece There is a hoax about a blood donation concerning a child. It's everywhere on posts on my friends FB accounts so we'll have a look at it and check the format, the context, the construction of the photo etc. The police has issued a news bulletin saying that it is a hoax. Andreja, Croatia 2.2 Fake news Andreja, Croatia 2.2 Fake news Since my students are young and believe everything that is published on the Internet it is my duty to instruct them in the way they will recognize the fake news.

Dumitra Ducan, Romania Dumitra Ducan, Romania a) I had a debate with my students about fake news using the link below: http://ro.blastingnews.com/international/2015/12/nasa-ine-secret-adevarul-despre-planeta-noastra-pamantul-e-de-fapt-plat-nu-sferic-00672003.html NASA keeps secret a truth about our planet. The Earth is flat not round says a news that appeared in Blasting News, on 16th December 2016. b) Critical thinking is a key skill in media and information literacy, and the mission of libraries is to educate and advocate its importance. Teresa, Portugal Teresa, Portugal a) I would use this fake news story: http://usdeplorablesnews.com/index.php/2018/02/15/michelle-obama-florida-shooting-is-clearly-trumps-fault-these-shootings-are-happening-constantly-since-he-became-our-president-we-must-protect-our-children-from-this-tyrant/ b) I would expect them to use the "ten questions for fake news detection", because they woul easily verify that this website is not trustworthy. Tomislav, Croatia Tomislav, Croatia When I teach hoax students I present 3 to 4 copies of which one is true while they are fake. Trying to teach them critical thinking and seeing false elements teach them how to protect and recognize hoax. Anna Maria, Italy Anna Maria, Italy In my opinion every published news must be analyzed very well following these 7 points to check the source of the news and get to its veracity Distinguere le notizie false da quelle vere e non diffondere le bufale Distinguere le notizie false da quelle vere e non diffondere le bufale Internet è il regno delle informazioni che, come l'acqua, possono essere buone o inquinate.

Il sito Valigia Blu ha pubblicato un ottimo servizio giornalistico sulle Fake News. #partnerdigitale Doinita B., Romania Doinita B., Romania I have debated with my students a false news found at the address https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-m3N_BnVdOI. First, we watched the video together, and then we used the CARP criteria list to determine the truth of the ones presented. Giuseppe, Italia Giuseppe, Italia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTdXshQJ2Bg This is a challenge spreading between pupils... It' a sort of OUIA tablet.

Veturia, Romania Veturia, Romania I would propose to my pupils to analyse the following article:http://www.cunoastelumea.ro/iata-ce-spun-reprezentantii-vaticanului-despre-extraterestrii-si-ozn-uri-vei-fi-uimit/ using the criteria: -does the article have popups or banner ads -follow the given links -check on Google if the site is thrustworthy -try to find the same story on a reputable website -analyse the photos -that does your instinct tell you?

Gabriella Italy Gabriella Italy Martina, Croatia Martina, Croatia We have sites where you can create a fake news (novosti24.net and hrvijesti.com) and see some examples of them: www.novosti24.net/vijesti/3/1167602081/dobio-na-lotu/ Pupils should answer who wrote this, what was the purpose, can they find this information on some other site...

Then I would read with them the Decalogue by the Italian Ministry of Education and invite them to reflect on criterias such as: Currency Reliability Authority Purpose/Point of view At last, I would suggest them to verify quality/veracity of any news also using valid web sites/blogs such as www.bufale.net, www.bufalopedia.blogspot.it Emiliana Rufo, Italy Emiliana Rufo, Italy The criteria I will give my students to understand if news is fake or not will be: Currency Reliability Authority Purpose They could ask these questions – Who made this? – Who is the target audience? – Who paid for this? Or, who gets paid if you click on this? – Who might benefit or be harmed by this message? – What is left out of this message that might be important? – Is this credible (and what makes you think that)? Come Scoprire una BUFALA in 5 Mosse - bufale.net Come Scoprire una BUFALA in 5 Mosse - bufale.net Bastano pochi click per scoprire se la notizia che stiamo leggendo ( e magari stiamo per condividere) è vera o falsa.

I'd use the 5Cs, and would do this with HS students Astghik Karapetyan, Armenia Astghik Karapetyan, Armenia My students are at the age of 12-17. They have limited knowledge of English Language. But we study how to find reliable sites and sources for information. Lina Steponavičienė from Lithuania Lina Steponavičienė from Lithuania Context Credibility Construction Corroboration Compare Daniela Rubagotti, Italy Daniela Rubagotti, Italy In this image we can see a frozen Venice; it was on Twitter in December 2016. I could suggest my students checking the weather in North Italy on this date. It's easy with Wolfram Alpha (www.wolframalpha.com) and they would find out that the temperature was from 5 to 10 °C. So it's impossible that the lagoon could be frozen! Lidija, Croatia Lidija, Croatia My students watch the youtube channel. We are discussing the emissions together. We are trying to find fae news. Mina( Filomena) Italy Mina( Filomena) Italy In my class we have discussed a lot and I proposed and then attack the work literacy proposed on www.aggregage.com this is a very helpful work. Blagorodna, Macedonia Blagorodna, Macedonia I will post this in my classroom, so my students can identify fake news. And they will learn how to avoid them. Draženka Kuzman, Croatia Draženka Kuzman, Croatia I think that many internet sites may have fake news. We have to teach students to think critically. Tiziana, Italy Tiziana, Italy Here some resources in italian: MIUR decalogo antibufale https://goo.gl/WhKbsC Blog by Paolo Attivissimo, who checks the suspect news and write about them https://bufalopedia.blogspot.it/ Tip: use Google reverse image search to check if the pictures in the news have been published before Soni D Albania Soni D Albania https://www.snopes.com/sentenced-reduced-3-year-old-asked/ Raluca, Isaccea Romania Raluca, Isaccea Romania https://www.facebook.com/portalul.realitatea.net/photos/a.10150197983910019.444472.410083270018/10160377018745019/?type=3&theater The age of group would be 15-16. The criterias are: 1. Currency 2. Reliability 3. Authority 4. Point of view Maria, Malta Maria, Malta With my older pupils, 9 to 11-year-olds, I could use the attached website and others similar to it to explain the difference between fake and real news. I believe they can relate to these comparisons. https://medium.com/zerone-magazine/you-wont-believe-how-these-9-shocking-clickbaits-work-number-8-is-a-killer-4cb2ceded8b6 Rossella, Rutigliano Italy Rossella, Rutigliano Italy http://www.lercio.it/non-scrive-su-facebook-da-quattro-ore-i-familiari-di-salvini-allertano-chi-lha-visto/ The age range I am looking for is 16-18 I would start by asking them to bring a fake and a true story to class. We would then have a discussion using the CARS list (Credibility, Precision, Reasonableness, Support) and for the older students a more detailed use of the 5 C. Each student presents his 2 stories (maybe on politicians, as in Italy is in fashion) and the rest of the students analyze them by determining which is false and why, simulating a Debate on the stories. Ram, UK Ram, UK The age group I'm researching are 12 - 18 Rather than presenting them with an example of fake news I would ask them to research it themselves and then bring to class one fake and one real story. We would then have a discussion using the CARS list, (Credibility, Accuracy Reasonableness, Support) or maybe for older students a more in-depth using the 5 C's. Each student would present their 2 stories and the rest of the students would then analyse each and determine which is fake and why. For large groups this could be done in small teams to save time. Gabriel (Gabo) Gabriel (Gabo) I would pick a fake new with a topic they could know something about. The criterias are: 1. Currency 2. Reliability 3. Authority 4. Purpose/Point of View Pedro, Portugal Pedro, Portugal First, to set the stage for the activity, I would play a small trick on my students: the website www.cnoticias.net/ is a place to create fake news/jokes to be shared on Facebook; I created a fake news (complete with an actual photo of our school) stating that the students of the 8th grade, class C, are being suspended by the school board after allegedly assaulting younger students. I would show them the article (1) and get a discussion going. Main points: this is obviously false, because you know you didn't do it; but, what if your parents see it on Facebook? This introductory activity is designed to raise awareness to the fact that fake news do exist and can have unintended consequences. We would then analyse a couple of examples, like the one (2) where Denzel Washington is said to endorse President Trump. I would draw their attention to the "Five C's of critical consuming" (according to John Spencer): Context, Credibility , Construction , Corroboration , Compare. Possibly, in a cross-curricular activity, I would have the Portuguese teacher discuss with them the elements of the journalistic discourse, to see how many of those elements are absent from these "news". Karen Farrugia, Malta Karen Farrugia, Malta Since I teach 6 year olds I would choose an image to help them think and understand the difference that lies between real and fake first. After showing them a picture I will introduce the CARS steps and explain each one - Credibility, Accuracy, Reasonableness, Support strategy to guide the pupils to choose the right image/news. Zvonko, Serbia Zvonko, S Zvonko, Serbia Zvonko, Serbia Here is how we can recognise fake news sites. I think a lot of internet sites may have fake news. The criterias are: 1. Currency 2.

Sara Spain Sara Spain No need to look for an specific page. My students love to watch videos on youtube, and sometimes they show it to me like if it was a "treasure". We usually comment the videos and discuss if they really believe all they see Johann Thorsteinsson, Iceland Johann Thorsteinsson, Iceland I often feel, that when working with students, 16-18 years old that it can help if they are somehow connected or familiar with any part of the topic that they are working on. Therefore I would choose a fake news on the famous actor Denzel Washington. http://yournewswire.com/denzel-washington-orwellian-police-state/ and ask them to use the the News Literacy Project checklist with ten questions for fake news, to try to find out if it is true or not. Milijana, Serbia Milijana, Serbia I would give the students the idea that all of their posts and messages on Facebook will become public. I would ask them to examine Facebook's policy and apply the five phases John Spencer explained in the video. Also, by this procedure, I want to influence you to refrain from publishing your status and build your critical thinking on false news. Emma Giurlani Italy Emma Giurlani Italy this is a challenging opportunity for me to let my students( boys and girls as well) to reflect upon the fascinating power of misleading advertising which takes the form of fake scientific news. I will ask my students to research on a site which promises miraculous results as anti-wrinke cream . It has the appearance of a scientific online health journal- http://it.ret.lifestyleblogger.eu/ They will work on the text whose goal was to sell an anti aging product by using a fake identity for the author my students will work using the CARS list checking Credibility Accuracy Reasonableness Support as criteria for assessing the quality of this source - they will use the basic questions for critical consuming to be considered consider whenever confronted with a piece of media: – Who made this? – Who is the target audience? – Who paid for this? Or, who gets paid if you click on this? – Who might benefit or be harmed by this message? – What is left out of this message that might be important? – Is this credible (and what makes you think that)? (Source: Project Look Sharp) I will ask my students to use also the google scholar button to establish the credibility of this source. Above this they will research for images of the author who uses a false identity and misleading informations regarding the institution where he is supposed to work as great expert. We will try to reflect critically on the power that such fake news can have on targeted people and how to develop a critical attitude toward such news Sanja, Jagodina, Serbia Sanja, Jagodina, Serbia Last year, the news about the disastrous road conditions in Serbia was published on the Internet . The news was illustrated by a photo from a part of the main road. I would show a photo to students and ask them what they think about it –was it the truth or a lie? After few minutes I would give them CRAP and CARS Checklist which would help them to reach a solution. http://www.prelistavanje.rs/vest/prikazi/mihajlovic-lazna-slika-rupe-na-putu-ljigpreljina/2439928 Trini from Spain Trini from Spain Real or Fake?

Maria Grazia - Italy Maria Grazia - Italy To make the students critical users of the Web I will use some of the recommendations of the media educator Frank Baker, proposing them to visit this fake news website. Students will be invited to reflect on this: Your first stop when you visit an unfamiliar website should be the ‘about’ page. Is the information there neutral? Why does this website exist? Who funds the site? Who owns it? Who runs it? What are that person or people’s goals? Are contributors paid? What is the submission process for content? All of these can be clues about both accuracy and biases. “Scroll to the very bottom of the page and look at who owns the copyright. Is it an individual? A business? A smaller division of a large business? What makes this site qualified to provide accurate information on the topic the site covers? “Does the website cite its sources? Are the sources reliable? Does it link to reliable sites?” Il Fatto Quotidaino - Il Fatto Quotidaino - abbandonato abolito esame di stato aereoposto aggressione agricoltura alimentazione anabolizzanti animali domestici animali feroci animalisti apparizione Madonna archeologia aria fresca arrampicata astronauta astronave aliena astrovane aliena auto di lusso autostrada avvistamento avvistamento ufo bambola gonfiabbile Barbara D'urso base aliena beneficenza Berlusconi bicicletta Bimba e cagnolone body builder Bodybuilder bodybuilding caccia il fatto quotidaino Daniela, Italy Daniela, Italy An example of fake news: “Immigrato senza biglietto sul treno Frecciarossa”.

Jale, Turkey Jale, Turkey Sometimes we read a news about “Help the child with cancer” in our social networks (http://www.milliyet.com.tr/internet-yalanlari----internet-haber-883274/) . Aim is helped to the child rescue by offering a helping campaign. After this announcement in the classroom I would like to use a CRAP acronym for a discussion with my students (Age : How recent is the information? Does the creator provide references or sources for data? Who is the creator or author? Is this fact or opinion? Is the creator/author trying to sell you something? Filomena, Italy Filomena, Italy To avoid fake news it is necessary to collate the sources Brenda, Italy Brenda, Italy One interesting fake news story could be about a "Greenpeace activist who gets his arm bitten off after hugging a white shark", from the site worldnewsdailyreport.com. On scrolling right to the bottom of the page it admits in small print to the satirical nature of its contents. I would encourage students to adopt the 'CRAP' test to decide how current, reliable and authoritative the information given is, as well as considering the construction and over-use of capital letters. Elif, Turkey Elif, Turkey My students are at the age of 7-9. They have limited knowledge of English Language. But we study how to find reliable sites and sources for information.

I explain the rules we must take into account to identify false news. I show the site http://www.cnoticias.net/ where anyone can create false news. In the end I advise a reading in the resource of seguranet.pt about false news. Basic Guide to Identifying Fake News 1 Confirm URL as trusted source 2 Check if the subject in question is being approached by some reference media 3 Identify and validate sources of information in the article 4 Read more than an article on the topic that sparked your interest 5 A good exercise may be to ask yourself: what is the probability of what I just read to be true? 6 Browse the About section and search Google to see if any credible sources have written about these people 7 Observe pictures to detect blatant manipulations Propostas_de_Atividades_Noticias_Falsas.pdf Propostas_de_Atividades_Noticias_Falsas.pdf PDF document padlet drive Višnja, Serbia Višnja, Serbia I will use this photo "Nikola Tesla, the swimming instuctor".

After their responses, 10 mins warming up activities, I would give them your infographic and in groups of 4 they would be supposed to spot all the elements that characterize it.

After reading the story, I ask the students what they see wrong with it. After getting responses I will use a website like Snopes.com to check whether that story is true or not. I would also discuss the 5 Cs of Critical Consuming with them. As a conclusion I would end the lesson with a fun quiz on the subject like: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-38005844 Maria, Spain Maria, Spain It is not a really fake news but the link is a good starting point about diet news to begin a meaningful activity with students over the age of 18.

To my surprise, most of them instantly started to suspect that there is something wrong. I asked each student to express their opinion on the information they saw and why it might sound untrueto them. They especially liked different far-fetched stories about some of the brightest stars in the American show business. Students were extremely energetic and enthusiastic while discussing fake news, and I guess they got to know much more about the "Fake news" topic than before.

As in Italy we are dealing with hate against immigrants, I would read and discuss the article in order to raise awareness and to teach how to recognize fake news "Immigrato senza biglietto sul treno Frecciarossa".

I would explain that there are several ways to assess the quality and validity of a source. I would discuss John Spencer's 5 Cs of critical consuming: 1) context - of the article - when was it written, where does it come from... 2) credibility - what is the reputation of the site, is the site on a list of fake news sites ... 3) construction - is the article biased, can you disctinguish between facts and fiction... 4) corroboration - is it the only news source making this claim... 5) compare - to other news sources and try and get a bigger picture of what is going on I would also ask students to consider: a) who might benefit from this article? b) are there any references Above all, I would encourage students to always be careful and critical when reading something online, and to follow their gut feeling and consult an adult they trust! Paola Oggiano, Italy Paola Oggiano, Italy The fake news that I choose is "Pope Francis amazes the world, endorses Trump as President" . I would to ask my students the following things. -Check the URL: often we do not notice, but the site on which we are clicking is a copy of one more famous. -Watch out for statements: if they come from a known person, just select the phrase and launch a Google search in quotes.

Maria Luisa, Genova, Italy Maria Luisa, Genova, Italy I read the boys of a fifth higher a false news trying to get me to explain to them if it was false or true. After a discussion among themselves most thought it was false and this because they were brought by the teacher to look for the pros and cons. There is a black list of false information to be consulted on the internet but there are also sites to stay away from, to avoid believing everything for real. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/24/pope-francis-fake-news-snake-garden-of-eden Patrizia, Italy Patrizia, Italy fake_news.docx fake_news.docx Word document padlet drive Mateja, Croatia Mateja, Croatia In Croatia there is a site http://news-bar.hr/ that announces current news but with the satire.

Dan, UK Dan, UK Fake News Pupils: Our pupils are not experienced in distinguishing fake news and are vulnerable to trust and believe what they see, read and hear. They gain information from unreliable sources such as Social Media and do not question the reliability. Starter Activity: Introduce the idea of Fake News and then play 'Chinese Whispers/Telephone' to demonstrate how information can be misinterpreted, biased and miscommunicated. Main Activity: Use the Real or Fake stories from CBBC for conversation and analysis. Following the 5C's approach, we would look initially at the context, credibility, construction and then corroborate and compare with other sources. Daniela , Italy Daniela , Italy I choose a fake news from a list of suspect websites such as the following: http://www.curiosandoonline.com/2017/04/23/milano-scontro-bus-tram-sciacalli-nordafricani-assaltano-i-mezzi-e-derubano-le-vittime-e-i-feriti/ I divide the class into 5 groups and each one of them will refer to one of the 5 c's of critical consuming in analyzing the article. In a second moment, each group will share its findings and together they will create a list of the article features and decide if it is definitely a fake or not. Tatiana, Romania Tatiana, Romania My students are in the third grade, they do not have the ability to decide what the news is false. We are discussing the counseling hours about the advertisements made for children's products that prove to be false many times. Maja Hadžić, Serbia Maja Hadžić, Serbia Any tabloid would do for this activity. I still think it is not up to students to be investigators and know for sure which news is fake and which is not, but they certainly must improve their critical thinking. They search for incosistencies (the title and the text itself), unrealistic promises (e.g. miracle cures), sensational ideas, etc. They study basic media literacy through various school subjects (ICT, mother tongue, foreign languages, technology, civic education and others, when they have a task which requires using the Internet) Irina/Latvia Irina/Latvia There may be several goals for such fake news dissemination: • to harm a particular person • to create confusion and doubt in people • to impose other people's opinions • to make believe that which has not really happened • to tame society for hatred and aggression • to collect as many followers as possible How false news can spread - Noah Tavlin How false news can spread - Noah Tavlin View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-false-news-can-spread-noah-tavlin In previous decades, most news with global reach came from several major newspapers and networks with the resources to gather information directly. The speed with which information spreads now, however, has created the ideal conditions for something called circular reporting. Noah Tavlin sheds light on this phenomenon. youtube Mary, Italy Mary, Italy I choose a fake new and then I discuss with my students using "The 5 c's of critical consuming" Dilajla, Croatia Dilajla, Croatia As my students are in 4th grade now they do not have an ability to decide what news are fake and what are not. We usually do a project, analyze TV, radio or magazine commercials and their thrustworthiness. They learn that we're being manipulated and persuaded every time we shop and how easy we fall into a rut. Then we get through and talk over. Athanasios, Hellas Athanasios, Hellas I would suggest a fake website about a pseudomedicine. The website contains statements from “scientists” about the efficiency of the “medicine” and testimonies from “ex-patients”. The students are called to use the following criteria in order to assess the veracity of this web site: Context - Where does it come from? Credibility - Does the author cite credible sources? Is it actually an advertisement posing as a real news story? Construction - Are there any loaded words? Can you distinguish between the facts and opinions? Corroboration - Make sure it’s not the only source making the claim. Compare - Compare it to other news sources to get different perspectives. sevim hazar sevim hazar Marina, Croatia Marina, Croatia Not a whopper: Burger King has closed January 10, 2018 The (Burger) King is dead. The fast-food franchise has abdicated its throne as the last standing cheapo burger joint at the intersection of 16th and Mission streets following the closure of McDonald’s, which formerly sat across the street, in 2015. Joe Arellano, a spokesman for a proposed housing development the Burger King sits in the middle of, at 1979 Mission St., said the restaurant’s owners decided to shut down on their own. “They have been on a month-to-month lease term for a couple of years now,” Arellano wrote in an email. “We had hoped that they would have stayed open longer, but ultimately it was their decision to leave.” My students can not belive this news! They know that is fake news ToniaC- Italy ToniaC- Italy As in Italy we are going to vote in the General Elections , I discuss with my students about the articles we usually read or listen to and I invite them to keep in mind the Consumer's handbook. I want to share with you this important article https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/19/italians-asked-report-fake-news-police-run-up-election Leticia Reiris, Uruguay Leticia Reiris, Uruguay I would use some fake and real pictures and ask Ss to say if they think they are real or fake. (example http://www.bbc.com/news/world-42487425) they will have to research online on some given websites following the CARS checklist. FILOMENA BIANCO, ITALY FILOMENA BIANCO, ITALY Teaching English, I would suggest this fake news story from The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/shortcuts/2017/aug/28/save-your-teeth-reasons-to-give-up-prosecco. According to the article, prosecco would destroy your teeth. However, no scientific sources are mentioned in the article! What is the real purpose of the article, now that the UK is almost out of EU and wants to protect British products and discourage import from European countries? I would use the following criteria to assess the quality of this piece of information: - Reliability - Authority - Purpose Finally, I would encourage students to find other credible sources or scientific evidence in specialized websites or scientific magazines about the veracity of the news. Linda, Italy Linda, Italy my students are very young [pre-primary school] Sometime I discuss with them about this subject but in a simple way Drita Sulejmani, Albania Drita Sulejmani, Albania Fake news is a type of yellow journalism or propaganda that consists of deliberate misinformation or hoaxes spread via traditional print and broadcast news media or online social media. Fake news is written and published with the intent to mislead in order to damage an agency, entity, or person Aura, Romania Aura, Romania I usually discuss to students about this subject and eventually I show them a video for see what this is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faK-JOVOVMA Daniela, Croatia Daniela, Croatia we usualy read the article about Jestin Coler, a man who produce the fake news. (http://www.dw.com/hr/proizvo%C4%91a%C4%8Di-la%C 5%BEnih-vijesti/a-36634904) After we have discussion about the purpose of the fake news, why they can be used and then set the criteria for recognition of them. At theend ss have to find one fake new on Internet. Andrea Andrea In Italy a lot of fake news are rebounced by "official" newspapers, mainly in this period of elections. It could be interesting to compare different news on the same site and understand which of them are fake and which are not. I think they can use one or more fact checking sites, (guided by teacher, as they are not expert enough to do it by themselves). Finally we can build a "fact checking criteria list", starting from the ones found here I think that the Frank Baker list is really useful. Lucia Musmeci, Italy Lucia Musmeci, Italy https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2018/02/13/immigrato-senza-biglietto-sul-treno-frecciarossa-trenitalia-smentisce-la-fake-news-da-75mila-condivisioni-lo-aveva/4156797/ - Credibility Accuracy Reasonableness Support Cristina Elena Voicu, Romania Cristina Elena Voicu, Romania There is sites that are satirical but at the end of the page there is a text containing information about the site. Unfortunately, many websites are tabloids and people visit's to read gossip. Not all people know how to identify fake news so it's important to teach students and they can teach their parents. Many parents don't have digital competences, not knowing about Internet Safety. I think is teachers responsibility to teach young generation. Tatiana, Romania Tatiana, Romania Anja, Croatia Anja, Croatia In Croatia there is web site (link is just below) which contains a lots of fake new. But, it is so funny that many people visit it. http://sprdex.net.hr/ I would recomend pupils this web site. I direct them to some news. That would be classical apperance of fake news so that they know that there is site dedicated just to this. Questions: 1. Who posted the news? 2. What is the name of web site? 3. Is URL safe?

They can though be taught to determine obviously fakes, by judging the image , analising it , and doing the same with audio/ video files. Due to their young age, they often do not realize what is real and what is fantastic, but still they can make some differences, especially after the age of 5-6. At the beginning, they can be showed real images of animals or things, then fake/ modified images, so they can easily learn. Then , the same with audio.video files, so they can conclude that not ALL they see and hear on internet is true. I would apply some criterias from CARS, such as credibility, and reasonableness,, with questions adapted to their understanding capability. The material I use to learn them is mainly made by myself, but I also use images and short videos from internet.

Then, I present the link about false news that appear on the internet. The students listen carefully to the various news, analyze the news about its validity, quality and authenticity. The students then debate whether the newspaper and the press have relied on reliable sources. At the end of the class, I advise my students that it is necessary to have a critical spirit, an own opinion about the topic that the journalist publishes in the news and identify the dangers of research and reading false news. Ester Degennaro,Italy Ester Degennaro,Italy Students can go to this website which helps to identify and label fake or satirical stories. https://www.factcheck.org/2017/07/websites-post-fake-satirical-stories/ .Then they can assess the veracity of this information using some tips elaborated from SIC.

I would encourage my students to search around the topic to verify whether it was supported by other sources. The fact that this was reported by a seemingly credible news source could then lead to a discussion of how even credible sources can sometimes pick up fake news stories and it is always important to check, if something doesn't seem quite right.

Therefore I would choose a fake news on the famous actor Denzel Washington. http://yournewswire.com/denzel-washington-orwellian-police-state/ and ask them to use the the News Literacy Project checklist with ten questions for fake news, to try to find out if it is true or not. Milijana, Serbia Milijana, Serbia I would give the students the idea that all of their posts and messages on Facebook will become public.

Maria Grazia - Italy Maria Grazia - Italy To make the students critical users of the Web I will use some of the recommendations of the media educator Frank Baker, proposing them to visit this fake news website. Students will be invited to reflect on this: Your first stop when you visit an unfamiliar website should be the ‘about’ page. Is the information there neutral? Why does this website exist? Who funds the site? Who owns it? Who runs it? What are that person or people’s goals? Are contributors paid? What is the submission process for content?

After this announcement in the classroom I would like to use a CRAP acronym for a discussion with my students (Age : How recent is the information?

I would also discuss the 5 Cs of Critical Consuming with them. As a conclusion I would end the lesson with a fun quiz on the subject like: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-38005844 Maria, Spain Maria, Spain It is not a really fake news but the link is a good starting point about diet news to begin a meaningful activity with students over the age of 18.

I asked each student to express their opinion on the information they saw and why it might sound untrueto them. They especially liked different far-fetched stories about some of the brightest stars in the American show business. Students were extremely energetic and enthusiastic while discussing fake news, and I guess they got to know much more about the "Fake news" topic than before.

I would explain that there are several ways to assess the quality and validity of a source. I would discuss John Spencer's 5 Cs of critical consuming: 1) context - of the article - when was it written, where does it come from... 2) credibility - what is the reputation of the site, is the site on a list of fake news sites ... 3) construction - is the article biased, can you disctinguish between facts and fiction... 4) corroboration - is it the only news source making this claim... 5) compare - to other news sources and try and get a bigger picture of what is going on I would also ask students to consider: a) who might benefit from this article? b) are there any references Above all, I would encourage students to always be careful and critical when reading something online, and to follow their gut feeling and consult an adult they trust! Paola Oggiano, Italy Paola Oggiano, Italy The fake news that I choose is "Pope Francis amazes the world, endorses Trump as President" . I would to ask my students the following things. -Check the URL: often we do not notice, but the site on which we are clicking is a copy of one more famous. -Watch out for statements: if they come from a known person, just select the phrase and launch a Google search in quotes.

After a discussion among themselves most thought it was false and this because they were brought by the teacher to look for the pros and cons.

Dan, UK Dan, UK Fake News Pupils: Our pupils are not experienced in distinguishing fake news and are vulnerable to trust and believe what they see, read and hear. They gain information from unreliable sources such as Social Media and do not question the reliability. Starter Activity: Introduce the idea of Fake News and then play 'Chinese Whispers/Telephone' to demonstrate how information can be misinterpreted, biased and miscommunicated. Main Activity: Use the Real or Fake stories from CBBC for conversation and analysis.

In a second moment, each group will share its findings and together they will create a list of the article features and decide if it is definitely a fake or not. Tatiana, Romania Tatiana, Romania My students are in the third grade, they do not have the ability to decide what the news is false. We are discussing the counseling hours about the advertisements made for children's products that prove to be false many times. Maja Hadžić, Serbia Maja Hadžić, Serbia Any tabloid would do for this activity. I still think it is not up to students to be investigators and know for sure which news is fake and which is not, but they certainly must improve their critical thinking. They search for incosistencies (the title and the text itself), unrealistic promises (e.g. miracle cures), sensational ideas, etc. They study basic media literacy through various school subjects (ICT, mother tongue, foreign languages, technology, civic education and others, when they have a task which requires using the Internet) Irina/Latvia Irina/Latvia There may be several goals for such fake news dissemination: • to harm a particular person • to create confusion and doubt in people • to impose other people's opinions • to make believe that which has not really happened • to tame society for hatred and aggression • to collect as many followers as possible How false news can spread - Noah Tavlin How false news can spread - Noah Tavlin View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-false-news-can-spread-noah-tavlin In previous decades, most news with global reach came from several major newspapers and networks with the resources to gather information directly. The speed with which information spreads now, however, has created the ideal conditions for something called circular reporting. Noah Tavlin sheds light on this phenomenon. youtube Mary, Italy Mary, Italy I choose a fake new and then I discuss with my students using "The 5 c's of critical consuming" Dilajla, Croatia Dilajla, Croatia As my students are in 4th grade now they do not have an ability to decide what news are fake and what are not. We usually do a project, analyze TV, radio or magazine commercials and their thrustworthiness. They learn that we're being manipulated and persuaded every time we shop and how easy we fall into a rut. Then we get through and talk over. Athanasios, Hellas Athanasios, Hellas I would suggest a fake website about a pseudomedicine. The website contains statements from “scientists” about the efficiency of the “medicine” and testimonies from “ex-patients”. The students are called to use the following criteria in order to assess the veracity of this web site: Context - Where does it come from? Credibility - Does the author cite credible sources? Is it actually an advertisement posing as a real news story? Construction - Are there any loaded words? Can you distinguish between the facts and opinions? Corroboration - Make sure it’s not the only source making the claim. Compare - Compare it to other news sources to get different perspectives. sevim hazar sevim hazar Marina, Croatia Marina, Croatia Not a whopper: Burger King has closed January 10, 2018 The (Burger) King is dead.

Joe Arellano, a spokesman for a proposed housing development the Burger King sits in the middle of, at 1979 Mission St., said the restaurant’s owners decided to shut down on their own. “They have been on a month-to-month lease term for a couple of years now,” Arellano wrote in an email. “We had hoped that they would have stayed open longer, but ultimately it was their decision to leave.” My students can not belive this news!

FILOMENA BIANCO, ITALY FILOMENA BIANCO, ITALY Teaching English, I would suggest this fake news story from The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/shortcuts/2017/aug/28/save-your-teeth-reasons-to-give-up-prosecco. According to the article, prosecco would destroy your teeth. However, no scientific sources are mentioned in the article! What is the real purpose of the article, now that the UK is almost out of EU and wants to protect British products and discourage import from European countries? I would use the following criteria to assess the quality of this piece of information: - Reliability - Authority - Purpose Finally, I would encourage students to find other credible sources or scientific evidence in specialized websites or scientific magazines about the veracity of the news. Linda, Italy Linda, Italy my students are very young [pre-primary school] Sometime I discuss with them about this subject but in a simple way Drita Sulejmani, Albania Drita Sulejmani, Albania Fake news is a type of yellow journalism or propaganda that consists of deliberate misinformation or hoaxes spread via traditional print and broadcast news media or online social media.

At theend ss have to find one fake new on Internet. Andrea Andrea In Italy a lot of fake news are rebounced by "official" newspapers, mainly in this period of elections. It could be interesting to compare different news on the same site and understand which of them are fake and which are not. I think they can use one or more fact checking sites, (guided by teacher, as they are not expert enough to do it by themselves). Finally we can build a "fact checking criteria list", starting from the ones found here I think that the Frank Baker list is really useful.

Unfortunately, many websites are tabloids and people visit's to read gossip. Not all people know how to identify fake news so it's important to teach students and they can teach their parents. Many parents don't have digital competences, not knowing about Internet Safety. I think is teachers responsibility to teach young generation. Tatiana, Romania Tatiana, Romania Anja, Croatia Anja, Croatia In Croatia there is web site (link is just below) which contains a lots of fake new. But, it is so funny that many people visit it. http://sprdex.net.hr/ I would recomend pupils this web site. I direct them to some news.

They can though be taught to determine obviously fakes, by judging the image , analising it , and doing the same with audio/ video files. Due to their young age, they often do not realize what is real and what is fantastic, but still they can make some differences, especially after the age of 5-6. At the beginning, they can be showed real images of animals or things, then fake/ modified images, so they can easily learn. Then , the same with audio.video files, so they can conclude that not ALL they see and hear on internet is true. I would apply some criterias from CARS, such as credibility, and reasonableness,, with questions adapted to their understanding capability. The material I use to learn them is mainly made by myself, but I also use images and short videos from internet.

Then, I present the link about false news that appear on the internet. The students listen carefully to the various news, analyze the news about its validity, quality and authenticity. The students then debate whether the newspaper and the press have relied on reliable sources. At the end of the class, I advise my students that it is necessary to have a critical spirit, an own opinion about the topic that the journalist publishes in the news and identify the dangers of research and reading false news.

I would encourage my students to search around the topic to verify whether it was supported by other sources. The fact that this was reported by a seemingly credible news source could then lead to a discussion of how even credible sources can sometimes pick up fake news stories and it is always important to check, if something doesn't seem quite right.

After that I I would present them this news http://www.tvi24.iol.pt/desmentido/19-12-2017/cristiano-ronaldo-nega-construcao-de-hospital-pediatrico-no-chile and listen to the various reactions.

After that, I would present them this news http://www.tvi24.iol.pt/sociedade/noticias-falsas/se-este-ano-acreditou-nestas-noticias-saiba-que-eram-falsas to show them that the last case is not an isolated case.

Then I would present them this site https://pplware.sapo.pt/internet/atencao-sites-de-noticias-falsas-contaminam-as-redes-sociais/ to introduce the techniques of detection of fake news.

I would show them also this site https://www.imprensafalsa.com/ to show them an example of a “fake new” who don't want to cheat but to play.

Finally, I would ask them to look for some recent news and analyze it using ten questions for fake news checklist.

There are many fake news on the internet concerning, first of all, celebrities (Michael Schumacher or Sylvester Stallone's deaths), but also some geographical or historical aspects.Sometimes students come across such news and they don't know if it is real or not. I strongly believe we should give them some tools to analyze these information.

1. The fake news is: 15 days of complete darkness in november 2017 http://evz.ro/pamantul-va-fi-in-intuneric-15-zile.html
2. The criteria is CARS:
Credibility- is this article/newspaper a credible one?
Accuracy- the details are up to date?
Reasonabless- is the newspaper objective?
Support- what is the source, from where is the information?

The fake news relates to vaccination attack during the flu season https://globalnews.ca/news/4006133/flu-shot-fake-news-2/
Students would have to analyze some statistics and other official sources in order to identify how reliable and up to date the source is.

In recent days, in Italy, an alarming news about the willingness on the part of Enel, the company that supplies electricity, to charge € 35 to all its customers to recover the money owed by the defaulters, has become viral in WhatsApp and Facebook. So, I should analyse if the

The fake news was promptly debanked by Butac

https://www.butac.it/i-35-euro-della-bolletta-della-luce/

and by Italian Postal Police.

https://www.commissariatodips.it/notizie/articolo/fake-news-aumenti-in-bolletta-luce-per-coprire-il-debito-causato-dagli-utenti-morosi.html

Nevertheless as highlighted by this petition on Change.org, over 140,000 individuals have already activated themselves, putting their signature, united by the slogan "Stop this incredible theft against honest users".

https://www.change.org/p/presidente-autorita-per-l-energia-elettrica-e-il-gas-no-alle-bollette-elettriche-con-i-debiti-dei-morosi/u/22421557

The criteria I would expect them to use for assessing the quality/veracity of this particular source of information could be:

In the news there is there is the citation of a credible and authoritative source (the Italian consumer association Altroconsumo):

In Altroconsumo website are there sufficient information about this new?

I would like my students to reflect this petition does not refer to the fake news, but it cleverly exploits the polarizing narrative that exalts "honest citizens against corrupt institutions".

They used the internet foe checking. First thing, they saw the source and said that it is not reliable (well-known newspaper for stories like the hen that gave birth to chickens!). I used a list for checking the article very similar to CARS (I have it from a course about media literacy). Students were very receptive and the final conclusion was ”I will not share anything anymore unless I check it”. But they still do it, even for fun...

Adult learners
This has been repeatedly doing the rounds on Facebook. And I am surprised to see how many adults have believed this. Have we so little knowledge retained after finishing school? I have seen this repeated by people who only have secondary school and by people with degrees. Worrying. Not because we should know everything, but because all it takes is ONE ONLINE SEARCH!
So, Facebook especially is a tool to easily spread fake news and misinformation.

I’d like to involve my students about the following issue about medicine from the site http://www.segnidalcielo.it/scienziati-scoprono-il-modo-per-distruggere-i-tumori-usando-solo-onde-sonore/
I will divide the class in five groups, according to the five C’s critical consuming: context, credibility, construction, corroborazione, compare.
I’ll ask them to use the CARS checklist.

Credibility

If a source is credible, it is: Trustworthy; the quality of evidence and argument is evident; the author's credentials are available; quality control is evident; it is a known or respected authority; it has organizational support.
Goal: An authoritative source; a source that supplies some good evidence that allows you to trust it. Some questions to ask to determine credibility:

Is there sufficient evidence presented to make the argument persuasive?
Are there compelling arguments and reasons given?
Are there enough details for a reasonable conclusion about the information?

Accuracy

If a source is accurate, it is: Up-to-date, factual, detailed, exact, comprehensive, and its purpose reflects intentions of completeness and accuracy.
Goal: A source that is correct today (not yesterday); a source that gives the whole truth. In addition to an obvious tone or style that reveals a carelessness with detail or accuracy, there are several indicators that may mean the source is inaccurate, either in whole or in part:

No date on the document
Assertions that are vague or otherwise lacking detail
Sweeping rather than qualified language (that is, the use of always, never, every, completely rather than usually, seldom, sometimes, tends, and so forth)
An old date on information known to change rapidly
A very one-sided view that does not acknowledge opposing views or respond to them

Reasonableness

If a source is reasonable, it is: Fair, balanced, objective, and reasoned; there is no conflict of interest; there is an absence of fallacies or slanted tone.
Goal: A source that engages the subject thoughtfully and reasonably; a source concerned with the truth.

Here are some clues to a lack of reasonableness:

Intemperate tone or language ("stupid jerks," "shrill cries of my extremist opponents")
Overclaims ("Thousands of children are murdered every day in the United States.")
Sweeping statements of excessive significance ("This is the most important idea ever conceived!")
Conflict of interest ("Welcome to the Old Stogie Tobacco Company Home Page. To read our report, 'Cigarettes Make You Live Longer,' click here." or "When you buy a stereo, beware of other brands that lack our patented circuitry.")

Support

If a source is valid, it will have: Listed sources, contact information, and available corroboration its claims will be supported; documentation will be supplied.
Goal: A source that provides convincing evidence for the claims made; a source you can triangulate (find at least two other sources that support it).

Some source considerations include these:

Where did this information come from?
What sources did the information creator use?
Are the sources listed?
Is there a bibliography or other documentation?
Does the author provide contact information in case you wish to discuss an issue or request further clarification?
What kind of support for the information is given?
How does the writer know this?

Evaluate Some Sources

Having read the summary of the CARS Checklist, you are now ready to put your evaluative skills to work.

Moreover, I Aldo Sant’ my students to follow these advices :
1. Click (the link) and read beyond the headline.
2. Look at the date.
3. Google it.
4. Look it up on Snopes (a website that debunks fake news)
5. Know your satirical websites

The 5 C’s of Critical Consuming

#1: Context – Look at the context of the article. When was it written? Where does it come from? Have the events changed since then? Is there any new information that could change your perspective?

#2: Credibility – Check the credibility of the source. Does the site have a reputation for journalistic integrity? Does the author cite credible sources? Or is it satirical? Is it on a list of fake news sites? Is it actually an advertisement posing as a real news story?

#3: Construction. Analyze the construction of the article. What is the bias? Are there any loaded words? Any propaganda techniques? Any omissions that you should look out for? Can you distinguish between the facts and opinions? Or is it simply all speculation?

#4: Corroboration: Corroborate the information with other credible news sources. Make sure it’s not the only source making the claim. If it is, there’s a good chance it’s actually not true.

#5: Compare: Compare it to other news sources to get different perspectives. Find other credible sources from other areas of the ideological or political spectrum to provide nuance and get a bigger picture of what’s actually happening.

Intro: I would present the following link: https://uroom.wordpress.com/2008/08/25/el-himno-nacional-mexicano-no-es-de-mexico/
Basically the article reads that the Mexican hymn belongs to the US and we have to pay every time that is played outside the country.

Debate: I will start asking questions about how they fill with the article and if they think it is true.

Research: in teams the students would search for information to convince themselves and other people that the article is false. Each team represents and investigates one aspect of the CRAP test and would write the evidence in post-it´s. In order for the kids to know what exactly to look, I would provide them with specific questions related to the concepts of the CRAP test.

Conclusions:
Using the board and organizing the post-it's, students will review the 4 aspects and concepts to identify fake news.

At this addres https://verificasursa.ro we can find a list of websites that usuallly post fake news in order to egt many readers.
I expect pupils will use the following criteria in order to identify if the information is real or fake:
- If a story offers links, follow them. If there are none, no quotes or references then you probably shouldn't believe it.
- Use a reverse search engine in order to find the real source of the image.
- If story makes you angry, it's probably designed that way.
- Caps and obviously photoshopped pictures.

We discussing with students asking questions from website https://www.ifla.org/publications/node/11174 about:
CONSIDER THE SOURCE
Click away from the story to investigate the site, its mission and its contact info.
READ BEYOND
Headlines can be outrageous in an effort to get clicks. What’s the whole story?
CHECK THE AUTHOR
Do a quick search on the author. Are they credible? Are they real?
SUPPORTING SOURCES?
Click on those links. Determine if the info given actually supports the story.
CHECK THE DATE
Reposting old news stories doesn’t mean they’re relevant to current events.
IS IT A JOKE?
If it is too outlandish, it might be satire. Research the site and author to be sure.
CHECK YOUR BIASES
Consider if your own beliefs could affect your judgement.
ASK THE EXPERTS
Ask a librarian, or consult a fact-checking site.

Emotional response = is it created for raising a strong emotional response?
Context = which kind of site is this? Who is the author? Does the author quote any sources?

Corroboration = is this the only website claiming these facts? Are these facts mentioned in other articles?

Select a news from the website http://www.cnoticias.net/ . It's a fake news website.

Discuss with the students the text, vocabulary, source, the pictures quality and the layout of the site.

Follow the Frank Baker fake news recommendation to detect fake news.

Show students two or three tests for checking fake news: Handbook, CRAP test.

Explore additional news websites to understand and assimilate the Handbook test.

2018-03-12 09:49:53 UTC

Ask students

How do you get your news?
If you get it from social media, can you name the news sources where the information you read comes from?
What have you heard about fake news? Why are people concerned about it?

Watch ands discuss the video:
“Fake News on Facebook”
Discuss:

Why did people, particularly the teens in Macedonia, create fake news sites?
How are Facebook and Google addressing the problem?
Do you agree with President Obama’s assertion that “we have problems” if we cannot tell the difference between real news and propaganda? Why or why not?

I would ask my students to find some fake news on FB or other social media. Then we would start analizing and discussing them giving some possible and credible answers, comparing with other texts.

I would play with my students a game "Agent" where one person has to be a 'troll' and mislead others. Then we could talk about fake news and the influence it has on our lives. I would use some fake news from this webpage (they are shown in the examples-pictures) Students would analyse them according The 5 c’s of critical consuming:

1) Context

2) Credibility

3) Construction

4) Corroboration

5) Compare

It could be an extension of a Romanian Literature lesson regarding Lyric genre - a poetry written by the national poet, Mihai Eminescu. It could start with the most well-known portrait of the poet. Then I could display a second picture, where it suppose to be the poet when he was 9 years old. But it is hard to believe that the second portrait depicts the same person. It is taken from a considered fake site: http://www.cunoastelumea.ro/este-aceasta-o-fotografie-cu-eminescu-la-9-ani-barbatul-din-imagine-este-sigur-tatal-marelui-poet/
Then we could turn the discussion to the the confidence that we need to have (or not!) in any information on the internet. We could apply the CRAP test and apply "The 5 C5s" of critical consuming.
Then I could recommend a link to an application launched by a Romanian, which helps internet users to know how safe the information is online: "Denecrezut" App / Unreliable App

monica_tele — 2018-03-15 17:37:41 UTC

I would show them 2 different websites and they would have to find out if they have fake news or not, and based in the CRAP or CARS test to show proof of their decision.

The guidance we give ourselves and that every news before being propagated should be checked for truthfulness.
Many confusions occur because of information that has not been verified

Jana, CZ

jjilkova — 2018-03-15 20:29:28 UTC

We used to let students look at 3 fake and 3 well structures websites and find out the differences. Then we investigated the CRAP-like rules. I like Monika´s Jowita´s ideas!

I would choose some fake news from eg. this list https://interaktivni.rozhlas.cz/dezinformace/ and analyze it with pupils via this criteria https://www.jsns.cz/projekty/medialni-vzdelavani/bulletin-medialni-vzdelavani/analyza/fake-news and using other materials from this site.
And I like the idea with video about fakenews and brexit.

Most students are unfamiliar with the term "fake news". Therefore I would first explain what fake news is; The effects of fake news both locally and internationally and then I would show them samples of fake news and how to detect fake news using both the CRAP and CARS methods.

Share with the students a fake news site - http://www.cnoticias.net/.
Take an example at this site.
Use the CRAP test to analyze the fake news chosen:

Currency
- How recent is the information?
- How recentl has the website been updated?
- Is it current enough for your topic?
Reliability
- What kind of information is included in the resource?
- Is content of the resource primarily opinion? Is is balanced?
- Does the creator provide references or sources for data or quotations?
Authority
- Who is the creator or author?
- What are the credentials? Can you find any information about the author's background?
- Who is the published or sponsor?
- Are they reputable?
- What is the publisher's interest (if any) in this information?
- Are there advertisements on the website? If so, are they cleared marked?
Purpose/Point of View
- Is this fact or opinion? Does the author list sources or cite references?
- Is it biased? Does the author seem to be trying to push an agenda or particular side?

Discuss with the students all the points above.

On this site http://www.novosti24.net/ you can create a fake news. I would pick some students to create a fake news and then I would use the CRAP and CARS method.

I give my students two urls (one with fake and one with real news) and table with 30 questions based on CRAP and CARS method. Then I tell them to use those questions in order to investigate if that source is reliable or not.

davut_erol1 — 2018-06-11 22:10:09 UTC

There are a lot of websites presenting fake news and many sites you can generate fake news. I would show my students fake news or want to make them fake news. Then we wolud use the CRAP or CARS acronym, and the ccriteria told in the module. We would evaluate the news to see if it is real or fake.

leduff — 2019-01-03 13:48:25 UTC

dentify and share one fake news story/website for your pupils to analyse, and b) to list the criteria you would expect them to use for assessing the quality/veracity of this particular source of information. If you need further inspiration, have a look at the Additional resources at the end of this module!

For this activity I would share the following fake news about Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg returning at 85 to her perch on the Supreme Court bench from bients.com (https://bients.com/ruth-bader-ginsburg-returns-to-supreme-court-bench-after-lung-cancer-surgery/).

The criteria I would expect my pupils to use for assessing both the quality and the veracity of this news are the following:

1. Gut check. It appears the story is unreliable.

2. As the story seems unlikely, verify it by finding a reputable outlet reporting the same thing.

3. There are no links quoted nor references in the story? A telltale sign for a fake news.

4. Check the “About” page of the site. As there is no one, then, check the site itself by visiting the following url: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fake_news_websites#cite_ref-huffpost-bernie_23-0

Remember that if you are not sure the story is true you should avoid sharing it.

Teaching students about fake news is essential in cultivating their critical thinking skills and media literacy. By defining fake news and discussing its impact, students gain an understanding of the dangers of misinformation in today's digital landscape. Through examples and activities, they learn to recognize common characteristics of fake news and understand the role of bias in news reporting. Introducing fact-checking tools empowers students to verify information and make informed decisions about the credibility of sources. Ultimately, this lesson equips students with the skills to navigate the complex media environment and become responsible consumers of information.
