[LM_NET] TAR: middle school hoax website lesson

[Suzette <schoollibr@YAHOO.COM>]

Hi Everyone,
   
  I was wondering if anyone could tell me about a lesson plan they use with 6th 
graders about hoax websites. I'd like to put together a fun lesson on this. I've 
been reading about the posts here regarding the idiotica site. There is also a site 
about the "tree octopus." I don't have the address, but if you google "tree 
octopus" it comes up on top! Funny stuff. Does anyone have any others and/or ideas 
of how they approach this with the students?
   
  Thanks for all your help!
