Welcome to 2020: The Age of (Fake/Mis/Dis) Information! (Pt. 1: Clickbait)


Students will play a game of Clickbait Creator, and try their hand at a convincing social media graphic they will feature on their blogs.

They will then explore this interactive article https://insertlearning.com/v1/lesson/5e18969c6dde50413513f18b
and discuss in class. They will compose a brief educational message to those who click on clickbait without thinking - so that the clickers may be better informed about what just happened to them!

They will build a blog entry or a web page with their "educational message about clickbait," and use it as the target URL for their own previously created clickbait graphics. They will publish their clickbait graphics to their various social media platforms (using HootSutie, etc.) - and, in the next class, will share any responses or feedback from their "clickers."

Add your name as "keyword" for fun.


Here are the actual headlines that inspired your game examples:
