A Small Group Rotation On Verification Stations

Setting up several distinct, separate stations, each one focused on a single technique, reverse image search, source checking, account checking, and rotating small groups of students through each station in turn, keeps overall energy high while still covering considerable ground within just one single class session held together.

Time boxing each individual station quite carefully keeps the whole rotation moving briskly and prevents any single technique from dominating the entire session unfairly. A short, focused burst spent at each station, followed by a quick rotation onward, suits most students' attention spans considerably better than one long, single combined exercise ever really could manage.

Closing with a shared discussion of what each small group actually encountered at their particular stations lets the whole class genuinely benefit from every technique covered that day, even the ones any individual group did not personally get the chance to rotate through themselves during the session.
