Take your time. Speak, draw or write your answers.

01 / UNDERSTAND

Here is what is happening.

Trace a claim to its original source, check its date and context, and look for independent corroboration. A logo or a polished image does not prove authenticity. If you cannot verify a consequential claim, avoid presenting it as established fact.

02 / MAKE IT YOUR OWN

Your little investigation

What you need

Paper and an invented message: “All schools closed tomorrow.” Do not spread it as real news.

List what is missing: location, date, issuing authority and original notice.
Plan to check your school’s known official channel independently.
Write a response that states what is verified and what remains unknown.

03 / CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING
