Use one of the strategies we talked about to fact check something from your article.

The Evidence about Cannabis.docx

Legalizing Marijuana Is a Big Mistake.docx

Rush to Marijuana Legalization for Recreational Use Ignores Real Public Health and Safety Concerns.docx

Choose something from one of the articles we read to fact check. This could be:

Something that was presented as fact but didn't feel substantiated

Using "evidence" but not linking to it

Presenting a fact in a misleading way

Anything

After you have fact checked something, answer the following questions:

1. What article did you pull from?

2. What did you fact check?

3. What did you find in your research?

4. Was this surprising? Why or why not?

5. IF you found that this fact was false or misleading, why do you think the author used it in this way?
