(Fake) news

I know how to seperate real and fake news and can base my opinion on facts.

Discuss these questions: 

1: What do you already know about fake news?

2: Where do you currently consume news + how do you know it's real?

We're going to play a game to illustrate how easy it is to fall for fake news.

Quick Question:
how do we know if news is real/
trustworthy/reliable?

Footnotes

Discuss these questions:

1: Have you ever come across footnotes?

2: What are they? When and where do we use them?

Footnote

1.  Placed with information you want to cite someone else's words/ideas.
2. Appears on the bottom of the page = at the foot
3. Begins with 1 and are numbered throughout your essay/article = don't worry: Word does this for you ;)
4. Use it whenever you cite a book, article, data, online source...

You must add footnotes to your article to prove your article is based on more than just your own opinion.

Time to write 

Now that you know how to spot fake news, go to trustworthy websites and do research for your article. 

Read the assignment again  and write an factual article about your chosen topic.

Use reported speech at least 4x.

Use the Second Conditional at least 4x.

 Support your ideas/opinons with sources.

Structure

1. Title - must be catchy!

2. Body

Engage reader = address them

Use a range of vocab = don't repeat yourself

Refer to stats / data

Use linkers: add, contrast, result

3. Ending - summarise

Footnotes practice
