We discovered that today it is a very special day in the United Kingdom and in the United States of America… today it’s April Fool’s day!
On this day, it is common that everybody plays jokes or tricks to make fun and have a laugh, even companies and newspapers! It is quite fun to read or watch the news today because you have to guess what article is fake.
This is precisely what we did today, we read a lot of real articles (adapted but real) that appeared on the news and we had to guess which two were real. It was not as easy as it seemed! Can you guess the two real ones? Click and have a go!
Reading together to distinguish the fake from the real ones, we realised that the important part was to get the general idea. It was not so important to know all the words in the text because only knowing the key words (which we can translate with the use of dictionaries) and the images that go with it we could guess most of it.
The strategies we used were very different when we had to answer the questions about specific information. In this activity, we had to select first the correct article to locate then the information using the key words.
