Borderline Cases Project: The purpose of this project was to learn about the differences between fake news and real news. We also had to teach people how to recognize whether the news we where showing them were real or fake. We learned about how fake news work and how there are different types of fake news. After doing a lot of research on fake news, we wrote our own set of fake news. We wrote these articles to teach people detecting fake news and what to look out for. We were able to teach this people by giving them red flags.
Conspiracy Theory Presentation: for this part we had a partner and we had to make a presentation on conspiracy theories. My partner and I decided to do presentation about the de death of a famous actor, When him and I started working on this presentation, we were both exited because we new that at the same time we would learn more about conspiracy and learn more about our conspiracy. The first day that I was doing research on this conspiracy.
Hoax Website: Our teacher, Dr. Alec Patton gave us a website and our class had to determine wether it was real or fake. We all as a class decided to say it was fake. We were able to determinate that the website was fake because it was made from a weebly website, And it was kinda obvious that an article wouldn't come from webbly because we student and teaches use it to do stuff like this.
My Hoax Story: I wasn't really sure what i wanted my story to be about, because at the time i hadn't really understand everything about hoax and i had to learn more about. After talking to doctor P i was to come up with some ideas with him. I finally decided to do a hoax about me and a friend fighting. i thought it would be something really believable but i new it was fake. My story is right under here. “FAKE FIGHT” Something that we could do would be something like me and someone else got on a fight for example Me and ? were on the grass field and we were playing soccer and he found me we got mad at each other and we started to argue. The argue continued and he said something to me and i called him out too and than all of our friends around made a big deal out of it and the other kid told me to come at him and everyone took out their phones and started yelling “Fight, fight” then he tried to push me and he missed then i punched him and he block it after that he threw another punch and he got me on my ribs. I got so pissed and i stud up and i swing at his face fe started bleeding a lot and he had to go clean himself up.
My Story So Far: We wrote an essay which was about our story regarding the project. We were supposed to talk about if we liked the project, what we thought about it, and if we think it's teaching us anything. My story: When we started this project, when Dr. P started talking about it and introducing it i thought it was gonna be a really boring project. Honestly i felt like it could one of the worst if not the worst project i ever done. But since we started learning more about it and working on it i started to understand it and i started to like it, i find it very interesting when we had to research and make a presentation i saw lots of different conspiracy theories some of them were real some of them were fake. Something that really got my attention was how this also has helped us work with each other and shared our different ideas. What we all thought was right.
Biggest Threat Facing Journalism: We also wrote another essay. This one was about what we thought the biggest threat journalism we're facing. Threat To Journalism: Journalism is a sortof way for us to get all the information some of the most important stories possible stuff that we need to know to either protect ourselves. We tend to look at what we believe it's best for us for example we look at one side of a story only at the part that benefits us but makes other people infac sometime journalist look bad. Some other threats towards journalist is the most important out of everything because it's risking the people's lives and that is violence, such as deaths caused by criminal gangs, and protesters there is lots of topics that could cause problems when reporters are trying to look for informations or stories for example “Politics” This topic and war are the top two most dangerous topics for journalists to report about. This is because some reporters/journalists have found out stories really important ones, information that could affect other people which in some of this cases does people sent orders to get rid of the journalist that have the information so they can reveal the truth and harm the people that are doing bad things. I also read in one article that big companies such as google want to quit the chances of having fake new on the internet or advertisement because this makes other people believe stuff that ret true and it could harm other people or other companies. Another thing that does not sound as bad are ads this affects them because it makes it look like real stories that may affect them by revealing stuff that aren't true this makes journalist look bad and it makes them lose category and also sometimes lots of money. I read in an article that big companies like times is trying to get rid of ads for life, they try to get over with fke new that make journalists look like they're not doing their job like they should be doing it and that they are sharing all kinds of fake information just to make money. Final Fake News Story: I came up with this article because i was able to understand what i was talking about.I was also really convenient of what i was writing about because the topic i new it really well . I didn't do my article well the way it was supposed to be done because i didn't add the most important part of it. T he red flags.My article change from the first draft to the second draft by changing all the miss spelling checking that the formant made scene and it was all in order,i also added some pictures and like other websites and like sources and some ad's. Something that happened when i showed my article to the middle schoolers was that they read it and they thought it was real so that means it was okay because they actually thought it was real. their reaction wasn't really big.

Exhibition Day: Something i did to help out for exhibition night was cleaning helping set up some of the tables and cloths. also helped ms Soler to hang up almost every single art piece. Some memories that i have is how some people weren't really happy with the work we had done and weren't really happy about how exhibition was going to work out. but anyway every single person i saw at exhibition was trying there hardest, that is something that really stood up to me. Some advice i would have for someone if they were to do something like us would probably be just plan the exhibition with time and be happy with what you're doing and try your hardest so that you can be happy while you presenting at exhibition. If i were to describe exhibition night with one word will be hard work. Hard work because every single person try their hardest to finish everything on time and everyone was on point. Also i worked really hard to have my final article done even doubt it wasn't up because it wasn't really done i needed to add some red flags and stuff. but honestly i was really happy with what i had because it was a bit disorganized exhibition.
