A fascinating video about a website that describes an 'endangered' species known as the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus- 49 out of 50 students in the 7th grade class stated that the website, which happens to be completely fictional, is accurate despite the teacher asking them 'what if I told you that this website is fictional?' The students disagreed with the teacher, stating that it included all of the information they need to complete a project on an endangered species- for this reason, it was perceived as reliable.
It's a fantastic way to teach critical evaluation of resources for kids.
