Go back one step
A forward shows who sent a message, not necessarily who produced the information. Look for an identifiable link, title, author or document. Read the full publication and check its date. UNESCO recommends examining origin, authorship, supporting sources and context.
Fictional example: an old announcement
A message says, “The library closes tomorrow”, but its image does not show the year. The question is whether the announcement refers to the date and library in this conversation. Look for the notice on the institution’s own channel. Without that connection, record “date and location not yet confirmed”.
Return context, not just a label
One possible reply: “I found the original notice, but it is from a different year. I have not confirmed a closure tomorrow.” Include the link and date. If you did not find the origin, say so and avoid repeating the allegation as a fact.
Continue with the worksheet or learn to read the document you found.
