Introduction
The main purpose of this project is to identify fake news from real. Also the main threats of journalism. At first we had an attempt with conspiracy theories and try to make one up about the school and trick the students but the more we went into it the more we realized that it might not work out. Then we decided to put an end to that and look into journalism, the threats to journalism. We talked about native advertising, fake news. With that we expanded into fake articles/news and how to identify them.
Conspiracy Theorie

Researching this was surprising because we were able to find sources that actually have information of Paul's death and the sources were credible. We found quite a lot of information like how an accident may have killed Paul and who is the person that is acting like him. It also says how one of the Beatles album covers symbolizes the car crash Paul was in and telling the fans in code that Paul is dead.
When I was beginning to search about this, I didn't really care about him being replaced and such but the more it went into detail, I can understand why people think its true. With some conspiracies the evidence is 'baloney', but with this conspiracy it is convincing because all of the evidence like the crash, songs, album covers, all are kinda reliable. |
Dr.P's Hoax Website
Dr.P gave us a website and he told us to look and think if the website is credible or not. It was pretty obvious that it wasn't real because of the red flags it was given, the spelling, the "about us" page, also that it uses weebly.

Hoax Story

To have this as an idea was different because we had to think outside of the box and we had to make it sound convincing and credible. To write this with my partner was easy because we both had to join our ideas together and that was an easy task.

My story so far
When I was writing this it makes me realize the consequences that could've happened if we went on with the project. This was a bigger project than what we anticipated. Because if we were to go forward with this project the possible consequences would be that the police would get involved or a student will get injured.
My role in this project was the cover up. Me and my partner had to make a fake project to cover the real, so it would look like we were working on something related to Spanish about child immigration but we were actually working on pranking. |

What happened to Winston?

In this paper we had to look at a murder/suicide investigation and find out if it was either one of those. We had to find evidence and give it warrants which were explaining why.
