(1) According to the Stanford study that compared the reception of the AAP versus the ACP, when the students and professors incorrectly decided one was more credible than the other, what did they overlook that fact-checkers correctly evaluated? (In other words, what are the 3 questions fact-checkers ask themselves?) (2) Check out Snopes or Politifacts and tell me something you thought was true (or something that you would've believed IF you HAD seen it on social media posted by someone you trust) that, in fact, professional fact-checkers proved not completely true. (3) On the right side, you will see a "Mind Map," name any ONE of the many suggested connections. (4) On the right side, under "More Library Resources," Credo suggests 3 titles per SLCC database. Scroll through until you are amused and copy and paste any ONE odd or hilarious title. (5) Click the first result from Library of Health and Living: The Encyclopedia of Nutrition and Good Health. Fill in the blank from the first line: "A flat, circular bread baked with a variety of toppings. The word pizza is Italian for 'pie.' The average American eats about ________ pounds yearly."

Answer

(1) The Stanford History Education Group study found that when evaluating the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) versus the ACP (American College of Pediatricians), students and professors were often misled by the professional appearance of the ACP website. Fact-checkers, however, practiced "lateral reading" to verify the organizations' backgrounds. The three questions fact-checkers ask themselves are: 1. Who is behind the information? 2. What is the evidence? 3. What do other sources say? (2) A common example found on Snopes is the myth that "The Great Wall of China is the only man-made structure visible from space." Fact-checkers clarify that while it is visible from low earth orbit under perfect conditions, many other man-made objects (like city lights or highways) are actually easier to see, and it is not visible from the moon with the naked eye. (3) When searching for "pizza" in the Credo Reference Mind Map, one common connection suggested is "Italian cuisine." (4) An example of an amusing title found in library databases under specific search terms might be "The Physics of Pizza Toss" or "The Cultural Significance of Frozen Pizza." (5) According to The Encyclopedia of Nutrition and Good Health, the average American eats about 23 pounds of pizza yearly.
