2) Explain why you think people write fake news?

I think people write fake news to get attention or do it to pear pressure groups of people into bulliying or making fun of a specific group or person. 

3) Explain how you can spot or check fake news

You can spot or check fake news by asking a more reliable source of information rather than the media 

4) write your own fake news story!

Last night at 8pm Boris Johnson announced that the UK is not yet going into lockdown because we need to do everything we can without taking the extreem measures to stop the virus outbreak.

"We need to social distance without being forced into out homes"

Many protests have been taking place because many people feel Boris isn't making the correct solutions to trying to get the CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK under control. 

Most of the UK is angry because a lot of people aren't taking COVID-19 seriously and therefore helping the coronavirus spread. They think Boris should "Prohibit people from going to public places like shops unless absoulutely necissary".
