What is fake news? Why does it matter? How do we challenge it? This resource is as much about learning about fake news as it is about taking a step back to pause and reflect.
After a warm up "Real or fake" test to engage students in the topic, we get into the crux of the matter, looking at where fake news comes from, it's often political nature and financial incentive, and who is targeted by it.
If fake news is nothing new in human history, recent inventions have massively increased the range and speed at which information spreads. Smartphones and social media means we have never, potentially, been more exposed to fake news and this has negative consequences, including stigmatization of people, reinforcement of stereotypes, the closing rather than opening of discussion and debate. It can even lead to violence.
Thankfully, we can challenge fake news thanks to our critical thinking. An extensive range of tips and steps we can take are taken from the Navigating the News (Part II) resource and linked in the resource before it finishes off with a "fake news" game into order to practice and stimulate thinking more.

This resource is a supplement to the modified rubric from the Washington Models for the Evaluation of Bias Content in Instructional Materials (2009) that is made available through OER Commons under a public domain license. This resource attempts to both update the content with more contemporary vocabulary and also to narrow the scope to evaluating still images as they are found online. It was developed as a secondary project while working on a BranchED OER grant during summer 2020. It includes an attached rubric adapted from the Washington Model (2009).This checklist was created for higher education purposes to review course content for diversity and inclusivity.

RL.K.7 With prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear (e.g., what moment in a story an illustration depicts).RL.1.7 Use illustrations and details in a story to describe its characters, setting, or events.RL.2.7. Explain how specific aspects of a text’s illustrations contribute to what is conveyed by the words in a story (e.g., create mood, emphasize aspects of a character or setting). Students in grades K-2 learn about Children's book authors and illustrators. We study various illustrators of Caldecott Award winning and Honor books each year. Students are very familiar with illustrators such as Eric Carle, Chris Van Allsburg, and Dr. Seuss. This lesson introduces students to some lesser known illustrators such as Jean Charlot.Jean Charlot is the illustrator of Margaret Wise Brown's book A Child's Goodnight Book. This book is a Caldecott Honor Book for 1944. Charlot also illustrated The Whipping Boy, ...And Now Miguel and the Timid Ghost to name a few. In the summer of 1944 he was invited to teach at the inaugural Summer Institute. During his time he created two murals, "Inspiration" and "Knowledge" on the pylons of the Studies Building to commemorate the event. Charlot is not the only children's book author to spend time at Black Mountain College. Leo Lionni was part of the 1946 Summer Institiute Faculty and illustrated several Caldecott Honor books such as Frederick, Swimmy, and Inch by Inch. Vera Williams graduated from Black Mountain College and illustrated Caldecott Honor Book More, More, More Said the Baby.In the wrap up of this lesson, students will connect Jean Charlot to these other lesser known illustrators. The teacher will show students other book covers from Leo Lionni and Vera Williams and discuss their connection to Black Mountain College as well. Students will then see pictures and can view a short video about Black Mountain College.
