Write 1 published “fact” (a single statement) that you believe to be TRUE, and 1 published “fact” that you believe to be FALSE. For each “fact”: a) QUOTE THE FACT from your source, and include a link. b) RESTATE THE FACT in your own words. c) EXPLAIN WHY YOU DO/DON’T BELIEVE IT. d) Cite one source supporting your position. As a guideline, here are what I very roughly believe to be credible sources, from most to least: scientific journals > news organizations > blogs and corporations > social media > advertising. Both true and false statements can be found in all of these sources – so be careful!
