KS3 · Years 7 to 9 · My knowledge organiser
Misinformation, deepfakes and AI content
Name and class
By the end I can say
“I can run three checks before I believe or share something.”
Before we start · what do I already think?
What I am learning to do
Spot when content might be manufactured, even when it looks perfect
Run the three checks in under a minute on anything in a feed
Give a verdict with a reason: believe, pause, or do not share
Explain why fakes are built to make you feel before you think
My words for this topic
misinformation
False information passed on by someone who believes it is true. No intent to deceive, and it still does the damage.
disinformation
False information spread on purpose by someone who knows it is false. The lie is the plan.
deepfake
Video or audio generated by AI so that a real person appears to say or do something they never did.
verdict
The decision you reach after checking: believe, pause, or do not share. Pause is a real verdict, not a dodge.
The three checks · learn this by heart
Who made this?
What do other places say?
How does it want me to feel?
Under a minute, and pause is a perfectly good verdict.
After the lesson · what changed in my thinking?
One place I will use this in real life:
Guided Childhood Schools · Misinformation, deepfakes and AI content · knowledge organiser · keep this in your book
