Fake news isn’t a new phenomenon, but it has changed a lot over time. These lessons will take a dive into the history of news and fake news up until the rise of the internet.
In this lesson, students will learn about news and fake news since the invention of the printing press. They will also analyze three different case studies from different historical periods.
In the next and final lesson, students will do a fake news simulation in which groups create different narratives based on the same facts.
