WHAT IS IT?
ACTIVITY 1
Fake news is a type of yellow journalism or propaganda that consists of
deliberate misinformation or hoaxes spread via traditional print and broadcast news
media or online social media.” Research on current events or issue in the Philippines
on which have been the center of controversy and may have been tagged as “Fake
News”.
Write your opinion about the fake news below. Please write your
answers in your notebook.
A conspiracy brought to you by big pharma
According to this theory, pharmaceutical giants that have made a fortune off of
drugs are hiding simple, effective coronavirus treatments so that they can profit from
the sale of a future vaccine. The anti-vaccine movement piggybacks on the delayed
treatment conspiracy.
Temperature as a cure
Just as the scientific community didn’t give Trump’s theories on COVID-19’s
survival in high temperatures a seal of approval – hand dryers and UV lamps don’t
effectively guard against the virus – the WHO has also discredited the idea that cold
weather and snow can kill the new virus. So don’t bother going on an ice cream binge.
ACTIVITY 2
Ask the students to recall stories of how they have used ICTs to be part of a social
movement, change, or cause to illustrate aspects of digital citizenship.
Examples of such are creating poetry online, writing blogs on belief systems, politics, or
about environmental concerns, and participating in a clean-up drive or a fund-raising for
typhoon victims.
Instruct the students to write a journal.
They may also opt to create an online photo narrative or a photo album if there is no
access to the internet to share their stories/experiences.
If the student has no social change or cause involvement, any social event will
do just like a class project, a family affair, or a celebration where the student
could use ICTs to contribute his or her knowledge to make an announcement, a
meme, or a video clip may be used for this class sharing.
Explain that such personal events also have social and cultural significance to
contextualize the student’s rich social experiences.
