SpeakOut lesson 5a: Fake News

• Engels
• MBO
• Studiejaar 4

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.

That can replace where after "somewhere, nowhere, everywhere, anywhere and place"

‘Is there anywhere that we can buy a newspaper?’
