Talking about fake news In your group, choose four or five terms from 23 that you want to know more about. Each student should pick one term to research. Your aim is to teach each other the meaning of these terms in a fun way. Here are some ideas to help you do that: Write funny definitions, one true and one false, and see if your group can guess the correct one. Illustrate your term with a cartoon to explain its concept. Write an acrostic in which each line describes your term, but leave out the first letter. Let your group solve the word puzzle. Play a guessing game: Answer the questions Who? What? When? Where? Why? and How? about your term. Show the answers one by one and let your group members guess which term it is. Your own ideas.
