More SIFT Lessons by Wes Fryer wesfryer.com

These are lessons I (Wes Fryer) teach and share during our media literacy / "Computer Applications" middle school classes. These connect with our culminating semester unit on "Froot Loop Conspiracy Theories and how to use both the SIFT web literacy framework and "lateral reading."

"London Eye" Disinformation (April 2024)

This example of misinformation was shared by Alex, one of the 6th graders in my Spring 2024 media literacy class. Screenshots below orginate with the Snopes.com article from 12 March 2024, "Is the London Eye Getting Dismantled and Moved to Scotland?"

Disinformation / SIFT Example: London Eye (April 2024)

SIFT Video Lessons

I present two videos in sequence with the setup prompt, which of these videos is true and which is false? How can we use SIFT and lateral reading to find out?
