How to teach the students using the cards:
Choose a card for your lesson. I recommend using one card for the whole class to start. Give students around 15-20 minutes to scan the QR code and look at the website. Ask them to work through each point on the checklist and find evidence to support each of their answers.
Come back together as a class and look at the website together. Go through each point on the checklist as a group and discuss how you know the site real/fake.
Once you have gone through the checklist of real and fake features, take a class vote.
After how to use the cards has been modelled to the students, allow them to explore the cards in pairs or independently. Each card should take between 10-15 minutes as students become more familiar with the process of checking.
How to use the cards:
Scan the QR Code
Look through the site
Read the checklist
Tick off what you see
Count the number of fake vs real clues
Verdict: Real or Fake?
As always with the internet, we cannot control the popup ads which appear on the sites. If the students see something inappropriate in the pop ups, they should tell the teacher and together you X and cross away the pop up. It is important to educate them how to deal with the pop ups so if they encounter them on their own, they know what to do, rather than avoiding all sites with pop ups.*
