Embedded Files
In Unit 3 Lesson 2, students explore the idea that anyone can publish on the Internet, so not all sites are equally trustworthy.
Below you will find the complete lesson plan packet as well as the student sheets separated into individual files for easy reproducing, or you can copy them to your Drive and then share them through Google Classroom.
Also, you will find supplementary material that has been prepared to make implementing the lesson much easier.

Teacher Materials and Preparation:
- Review the lesson plan and Nearpod presentation to familiarize yourself with the activities and keywords. Worksheet activities maybe included in the Nearpod presentation.
- Preview the images and slideshow from the Huffington Post article “Fake Hurricane Sandy Photos Spread On Internet As Storm Barrels Toward Northeast.” Prepare to show them to students. (www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/29/fake-hurricane-sandy-photos-internet-northeast_n_2041283.html).
- Note: Depending on what news stories are trending, the Huffington Post may feature controversial sidebar content on its site. You can work around this by presenting the Hurricane Sandy slideshow in full-screen mode, or by taking screen shots of the “real” photos and show them to students offline. Alternatively, you can explore Snopes.com’s “Hurricane Sandy Photographs” as a class and modify the discussion questions accordingly (www.snopes.com/photos/natural/sandy.asp).
- Review the Test Before You Trust Student Handout –Teacher Version. Preview the sites listed on the handout, and read through the discussion questions and the Website Test that students will perform.
- Copy the two-page Test Before You Trust Student Handout, one for each pair of students, or download and share a copy through your Google Classroom.
