Misinformation, Disinformation, and Fake News SIFT: Day 3

Practice Activity

Practice: Stop and Investigate the Source

After coming home from Costco, your parents sanitize all of the groceries. You are interested in learning more about the risk of Coronavirus from groceries. You do a search and your list of results includes the sites below. Using the SIFT techniques introduced so far, look at these three sources and put them in rank order--1st choice, 2nd choice, 3rd choice in terms of which source you would choose. Be prepared to share your reasoning and/or process with the class.

Remember, we're not reading the articles yet. Just rank the articles based on INVESTIGATING THE SOURCE.
