Thoughtful, Critical Thinking
Fake News introduces the concept of critical thinking, encouraging students to weigh up information, images or ideas before accepting them or letting them influence their behaviour. The presentation emphasises how the decisions we make, and the content we consume, can impact our relationships (both positively and negatively). This can, in turn, affect our own self-esteem.
The idea behind Fake News is that we empower students to think for themselves, equipping them with the information they need to make healthy decisions in four key areas: social media, body image, pornography and relationships.
Can be facilitated by a teacher or (for Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch schools only) a member of the Respected team.
