The problem with fake news

RSHE (PSHE)

This unit gives students the skills to understand elements of the online world, such as advertising misinformation and the motivations of content creators.

Media influence: What is fake news?

Which of these is a tactic for clickbait creators?

Information that is not true but looks real

An image or video created to tempt you to click on it

Influencing someone’s emotions, to make them do something

If there is a picture, we know it is real.

Videos cannot be faked, so if we see a video we know it is true.

How can we tell if something is real or fake?

A word or picture that takes you to a new place if you click or tap it

A feeling that influences how you respond to a situation or person

A feeling or belief about something that has no proof

Something designed to sell something to you

It limits what we imagine we can achieve.
