The programme is made up of 8 lessons covering topics such as what news is and what makes newsworthy stories, the difference between fact and opinion, and spotting ‘fake news’. Each lesson comes with a slide pack, teacher guidance and classroom activities.
The resources have also been designed in a way that supports use with learners with special educational needs.
