Lesson assignment

You will now start work as a fact checker yourself.

You have been hired by a fact-checker collective. You will be given two cases.

For both, you have to decide:

A. The item is correct

B. The item gets a warning attached

C. The item is deleted

D. The account is deleted

1. Correct!
2. Warning!
3. Delete!
4. Ban!

Geval 1:
Wat is je keuze?

Correct!

Warning!

Delete!

Ban!

Reflection

What were the questions which you asked when you had to
fact check the first case?

When you saw other people's answers appearing in the poll, did you then start thinking 'differently'?

Wellicht dat leerlingen door de poll beïnvloed worden en de mening/oordelen van anderen gaan volgen. Verwijs terug naar kritisch denken en de boomoctopus.

Second case

De QR-code links verwijzen naar hun bronnen.

1. Correct!
2. Warning!
3. Delete!
4. Ban!

Geval 2:
Wat is je keuze?

Correct!

Warning!

Delete!

Ban!

Reflection

What were the questions which you asked when you had to
fact check the second case?

Which other important things did you notice? Consider:

- Source criticism

- Consequences of fake news

Tracing/finding information on the Internet

Dit tweede geval gaat veel meer in op politieke opvattingen en normen/waarden. Feitelijke onjuist nieuws en/of maatschappelijk 'gevaarlijk' nieuws zijn soms uiteenlopende dingen.

Project

Duo's for the project.

Drawing lots: fake news or journalistic news?

Don't share your lot with anyone outside your group (and the teacher) in the coming weeks!

Project: homework

With your group:

Think of a subject that is suitable to make an item about.

Fill out the questions in the booklet week 3.

Hand in your subject idea (picture of the task) via Teams.
