Family page Lesson 20: Can the crew post this image as true?

In this case, a realistic image in a group chat claims that a campus courtyard flooded today. Your student checked where the image came from and wrote a short note that says what is known and what is not.

Questions to talk about

  1. What would you check before you share a picture of breaking news?
  2. Where does your town or school post official alerts?
  3. Why can saying you are not sure yet be better than guessing?
