3. WHAT MEDIA DO YOU CONSUME?
Write on each card, somewhere you get your news from, e.g. BBC website, a friend, a TV channel, etc.
The place them in the pattern opposite with the news source you use the most at the top and the one you use the least at the bottom.

4. HOW RELIABLE IS THE MEDIA?
Now you will need to re-order you cards, so that the news source your group thinks is most reliable at the top, and the one that is least reliable is at the bottom.
Reliable simply means how much you believe what you read, hear or see is true.

5. QUESTIONS FOR CLASS DISCUSSION
What was the most popular media source?
Which media source did you decide was most reliable?
Were these two the same? Why or why not?
Did you rearrange any of the other cards? What do you think about this?
