Please complete the News on Social MediaTestDrive. Instead of answering the reflection questions on the TestDrive, I have provided the Doc on Google Classroom with the questions. Please answer the questions and DO NOT forget to TURN IN.
Students understand why fake news exists and how to identify the telltale signs of fake news on social media.
Learning Objectives
• Reflect on the benefits and drawbacks of getting news on social media.
• Understand why fake news exists and why it is shared on social media.
• Learn the signs of fake news on social media.
• Identify appropriate responses to unverified information on social media.
Key Terms
• Source: The website, organization, or person that information comes from.
• Credible: Believable and trustworthy.
• Fake news: A news story that looks real but has been made up.
• Clickbait: An article that has a catchy headline to get people to click on it.
Prosocial Behaviors
• Fake news articles use shocking and exaggerated headlines and images to get you to click on them.
• Unusual web addresses or site names, including those that end with ‘.com.co’ are also a sign of fake news.
• Many spelling errors, lots of ALL CAPS, or dramatic punctuation are all signs that an article may not be credible.
A TestDrive module is a self-guided activity, taking about 20–30 minutes to complete. Each
module consists of four key sections:
•Tutorial: Youth learn key social media concepts, definitions, and prosocial behaviors in an
interactive tutorial format.
•Guided activity: Youth participate in a directed activity in which responsible behaviors are
modeled and practiced. 2–3 social media posts are shown with clear directions on how to
respond and specific actions to take.
•Free-play: Youth freely explore and interact with the TestDrive social media timeline,
which contains posts and comments relevant to the particular module’s topic along with
more generic posts. For relevant posts, young people are prompted to engage in the
behaviors that were taught in the Tutorial and Guided Activity.
•Reflection: All posts relevant to the module topic from the free-play session are
highlighted. Youth engage in prompted reflection about their actions (or lack of actions)
and why they interacted the way they did.
