Why do you think it is important to know how to watch and assess (beoordelen) the news?

P.O. News Project (examendossier)

You are going to make a video in which you present three news items.

Play the part of:

• the news anchor
• the reporter
• any other person you need. For example, an expert, a witness, etc. (You may ask others to play extras, but you should do most of the talking).

P.O. News Project (examendossier)

Your news should consist of at least these 3 items:

1. A real local news item
   
2. A real international news item
   
3. A fake news item that you would like to believe. You should still present this as if it were a real news item. Try to make us believe that it isn’t fake.

Make sure that you interview a witness for at least one of these items.
