Is This Post True?
A viral post says Route 9 is underwater and every school is closed. Students separate the claims, choose where to start, use lateral reading and reverse image search, and decide what is safe to share.
What is inside
- A post with forty thousand shares
- Why the post is easy to believe
- Choosing where to begin (branching choice)
- Tracing the post to its source
- Examining the photograph
- What the checks established
- Check before sharing (7-question graded quiz, 67% to pass, 3 attempts)
- Going further: fabricated images and video (optional)
Two short videos (KQED and iCivics) play from YouTube, so those two need internet access. Everything else works offline.
The last lesson includes a printable claim-check worksheet (PDF).
