Fake articles, is it real?

Welcome and Welcome back to my blog!
Today, I want to inform you on - fake articles.
What is a fake article? A fake article is something that informs you on something that isn't real or something that is false advertising. for an example, I've made one myself but a FAKE fake article. This is what my class has been working on for Cyber smart. If you find a article and you think it is fake, check the URL! The URL would have .com.co at the end if it is fake. Or there would be misspelling in the name. The one I made has a lot of misspelling but I hope you still understand the words. 

Also some have topics that aren't real. For an example, Aliens aren't real so someone seeing one is impossible and made - up. So if it is about aliens, you might want to think again whether it is real or not.If it is too good to be true, it probably is. Lastly, sometimes the title or picture doesn't match the actual text. For an example, We looked at a fake article about what teachers do after school. The picture had people gaming but the text wasn't about that so it was fake.
You have to be careful when looking at articles because it is important to know so that you get the right information. I hoped this helped! Oh, and here is mine!
