Ask these six “consumer questions” when vetting a story:

• Who made this?
• How was this made?
• Why was this made?
• When was this made?
• What is this missing?
• Where do I go from here?

"Backtrack Journal" --Choose a video you have watched and shared (this should take no longer than five minutes--don't get distracted and carried away watching a ton of You Tube videos). Ask the "consumer questions" above.  Create a "backtrack journal" (using Google Slides--go to Google Classroom for template) showing when and where the video, post or article first appeared.
