What they need to know before this lesson. Run it cold, before you teach anything.
1How can a picture be made by a computer?
Answer. A tool generates it from a description, so it can show something that never happened.
Carried forward from ks1-03 and ks2-09. Today it extends to video and audio.
2How does a feed decide what to show you?
Answer. From what you watch, skip and rewatch, to keep you watching.
Carried forward from ks2-06. It matters today because the feed is how a fake travels.
3You have shared or received something that was forwarded on from someone else.
✓TrueFalse
A show of hands, not a knowledge check. It puts every pupil inside the lesson.
4Something looks real. That means it is:
Definitely real✓Possibly realDefinitely fake
Looking real is no longer evidence. Expect some to pick definitely real, which is exactly why the lesson runs.
This is a readiness check, not a test of the child. Nothing here is recorded, and a class that struggles with it is telling you where to start rather than failing anything.
Keeping the balance: offline strong, online safe. Digitally educated, AI literate, ready by 16.
