E3.1 B1 Speakout unit 5A. News: Fake News.

• Engels
• MBO
• Studiejaar 1

In this lesson, Ss discuss fake news. They start by reading an article about fake news. From this

reading, Ss work out the meaning of vocabulary related to news and social media and then practise

using it. They discuss critical thinking skills in relation to fake news and then review and practise

relative clauses. They notice the pronunciation of wh- in relative pronouns. Finally, they work in

groups and each read a different news story. They retell these stories to their group and work

together to decide which story is fake.

Today, we'll finish our lesson talking about the significance of this picture.

This hope is our door, our portal.

Even if we never get back to normal,

Someday we can venture beyond it,

To leave the known and take the first steps.

So let us not return to what was normal,

But reach toward what is next.

What was cursed, we will cure.

What was plagued, we will prove pure.

Where we tend to argue, we will try to agree,

Those fortunes we forswore, now the future we foresee,

Where we weren’t aware, we’re now awake;

Those moments we missed

Are now these moments we make,

The moments we meet,

And our hearts, once all together beaten,

Now all together beat.
