Using the internet, research tools for identifying misinformation.
Resources might refer to misinformation as fake news, myth, or fiction. There are excellent online articles designed to help you learn how to separate fact from fiction.
2 –Number and explain your tools.
Type or handwrite the tools for identifying misinformation. Number them 1 through 5, and include a detailed description of how to apply each tool.
3 –Find an article related to fitness or nutrition.
4 –Use the tools identified in Step 2 and use them to evaluate the selected article.
This will likely require learning more about the author, analyzing the claims, and assessing motive.
5 –Write a 1-page report summarizing the validity of the information in the article.
Explain whether the article was truthful or contained misinformation. Often articles are mostly true but contain a few claims that are inaccurate or false. If the article seems entirely factual, describe why, making reference to the tools you applied. If you believe you have identified misinformation, describe why, making reference to the tools you applied.
