False News! Just because it's on the internet doesn't make it true. It seems so simple, but if everyone knew that, Facebook and Google wouldn't have to pull bogus news sites from their advertising algorithms and people wouldn't breathlessly share stories that claim Donald Trump is a secret lizard person or Hillary Clinton is an android in a pantsuit. It doesn't have to be this way. Fake news is actually really easy to spot -- if you know how. Consider this lecture your guide…

Different Types of False News 1. Fake news These are the easiest to debunk and often come from known sham sites that are designed to look like real news outlets. They may include misleading photographs and headlines that, at first read, sound like they could be real.

Different Types of False News 2. Misleading news These are the hardest to debunk, because they often contain a kernel of truth: A fact, event or quote that has been taken out of context. Look for sensational headlines that aren't supported by the information in the article.

Different Types of False News 3. Highly partisan news A type of misleading news, this may be an interpretation of a real news event where the facts are manipulated to fit an agenda.

Different Types of False News 4. Clickbait The shocking or teasing headlines of these stories trick you into clicking for more information -- which may or may not live up to what was promised.

Different Types of False News 5. Satire This one is tough, because satire doesn't pretend to be real and serves a purpose as commentary or entertainment. But if people are not familiar with a satire site, they can share the news as if it is legitimate.

False News! Let’s see if we can spot the difference… On your handout, there are six news sites. Some are filled with fake news, and some are reliable sources. Go to each site and… 1. List two articles from the site 2. Count how many ads are on the homepage 3. Describe the content of the site. Does it seem like mostly real or fake news? How do you know?

False News! Take a closer look at the content from the websites in the left-hand column. Notice how the headlines are more baiting and that there are more ads? The sites on the right side, on the other hand, contain fewer or no ads and more direct, less biased articles. These are good ways to tell if a site contains fake news or not. Let’s see if we can put this knowledge to the test…

False News! Go to https://www.snopes.com/fact- check/category/fake-news/ Snopes is a website dedicated to fact checking news. Search its list of false news reports and choose two articles to research. For each article: Give the article title Give some details. What exactly is the article claiming? Where did the rumor originate? What type of false news is this? Explain your thinking.

False News! For the rest of class, you have two jobs: 1. Read the NPR article “Students Have ‘Dismaying’ Inability to tell Real News from Fake” with your group, with a partner, or by yourself. Annotate the article in the margins. You should have at least two annotations per page, at least two sentences each. 2. Begin your IXL for the week: F.13 and F.14.
