5 ways to check is its Factual or Satirical:
1. Are the headlines ridiculous and funny or long serious and a little boring.
2. Are the photos they are using photo shopped or stock images or are the real photos from real news story's
3.  Are they using good language or bad language. while looking over the websites most fake websites had bad language use.
4. Take notice of there name and what font its in. most fake news sources have funny or just dumb names.
5.  Read between the lines on there story's. uses your critical literacy skills while looking on websites.

What am I learning? critical literacy 
How does this show my learning? by me taking the time to go through all websites and find what is real and what is fake
What am I wondering? How many fake websites are there.

  1. Kia Ora Izzy, it's great to see you managed to explore all of the given websites. We looked at 4 from different countries, I wonder if every country has a satirical news site? Next time you could include some links the sites you looked at so others can check them out to.
