Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
Online scams trick people using persuasive writing, exciting headlines, and even fake celebrity endorsements. Spend a few minutes at your table discussing scam ideas. 1. Clickbait headlines: These are exciting or shocking titles to make you click, like ‘Win a free iPhone NOW!’ or “Mr Beast is giving away £1,000,000!” or “Taylor Swift’s secret to free concert tickets!” 2. Persuasive language: Words like ‘hurry,’ ‘limited offer,’ or ‘only today’ to make you act quickly. Examples: “Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance!” or “Click now before it’s too late!” or “Only the first 100 people will win!” 3. Fake celebrity endorsements: Scammers sometimes use pictures or names of famous people to make you trust the scam. Choose a celebrity (e.g., a singer, YouTuber, or sports star) and include their name or picture in the scam. Example: A picture of a YouTuber saying, “I got free Robux from this link!”
