Real or Fake

This was interesting. The photo of Philly and the fighter jet was fake. I used the same strategy of looking at the airplane to see if it could have been real. I also noted the cursor being in the picture which was noted on the blogs which defined it as a fake picture.

A long time ago I was searching on google using keywords and my oldest daughter (35) chided me on my foolishness and explained how I could use full sentences. I used this to search for the answer to this question. Both reviews came up, so it looks like there real. The answer blogs agreed.

I tried to interpret the language myself on the Thomas Jefferson quotes. I got two out of three right. I did not think about using archives at Monticello as a source.

This was an enlightening exercise and opened my eyes to sources - Monticello  - that I would not have thought of.

This exercise could be duplicated in the classroom. The depth and power of search engines and social studies/history content is a valid lesson.
