The term 'fake news' has become commonplace. This project helps young people to think about how it applies to them and their lives.The vast majority are using smartphones, tablets and laptops to access material across the web - some of which will be true, but some will be inaccurate, false and even fake. ‘The authenticity experiment: True or False’ is an active learning project whereby learners are actively engaged in supporting or refuting the statements and substantiating their responses with evidence. During this activity, learners restructure their ideas and develop evidence-based conceptions. Having sound knowledge, developed from argumentation and presentation of evidence, helps learners gain expertise in a subject area.
