L/O: to explore the validity to news stories and their origins

Fake News: False information used to shape your views, opinions or ideas.  
1) 
  • Captured Islamic State Leader had Obama on Speed Dial
  • Donald Trump ends School Shootings by Banning Schools
  • Florida Man arrested for tranquillising and raping alligators in Everglades
  • Lottery winner arrested for dumping $200,000 worth of manure on ex-boss' lawn
  • Former First Lady Barbara Bush Dies at 92 
2. I think people write Fake News for one of two reasons, to easily make money online or to trick people into having a certain opinion and starting arguments over it.

3. You can spot fake news by looking for actual sources, reading the whole story to see how the story plays out, checking if it's satire and asking experts.

Monday 16th March
L/O: to evaluate and review our News Day project

Evaluation

  • I edited everyone's stories together and wrote, filmed and edited a story on Mr Man's haircut
  • I enjoyed the editing the most because I'm good at it
  • I enjoyed the filming myself the least because I'm cringy
  • I developed my editing skills, such as green screening, I also learned how to film properly.
  • I learned the news process is difficult
  • If I were to do this again I'd have a proper team

News and Audience

  1. You were a superstar Chandler! Thank you so much for all your hard work. You wrote, filmed and edited a story all by yourself as well as editing everyone else's stories together too! I couldn't have made it happen without you - I hope you enjoyed it.
