Maagizo ya hatua kwa hatua kwa walimu wengine

Prepare to explain the term 'fake news' to your class in the beginning of the lesson.

Fake news = false or misleading information presented as news. Fake news often has the aim of damaging the reputation of a person or entity, or making money through advertising revenue.

Print out copies of the attached fake news article for each student.

Let children find the 9 signs of fake news from the image. Give 5 minutes if children work alone, and 10 minutes if they work in pairs.

Finally, go through each of the 9 signs together one by one. In addition with finding right answers, ask children 'why do they think it is important to be able to recognise fake news from real news?'

Je, unatarajia matokeo yapi?

Matokeo

We had a great conversation with children about the importance of separating truth from lies on the Internet after the exercise. The practical quiz helped to encourage critical thinking.
