TAREA 6

Research - English Language

Las anteriores imágenes muestran la detención de Nicolás Maduro.

En los grupos creados en la actividad “Think, Pair, Share” tenéis 1 minuto para decidir si estas imágenes son reales o no.

 

Estas imágenes son FALSAS, como ya han dicho medios como el New York Times, o RTVE.

En esta actividad vamos a aprender cómo distinguir si una noticia ha sido generada por la IA, o no.

Para ello debemos fijarnos en tres cosas

  1. La fuente: ¿Quién publica esta noticia? Es una fuente fiable?
  2. El contenido: ¿La noticia busca provocar una reacción emocional fuerte?
  3. Los detalles: ¿Hay algo que resulte extraño o incoherente?

 

 

Paso 1.

Añadid las imágenes proporcionadas en Google Lens.

Cuando las busquéis, os aparecerán las fuentes que han subido esta noticia/imágenes. Rellenad la siguiente checklist:

  • ¿La cuenta o web es oficial, verificada o conocida?
  • ¿Aparece la noticia en varios medios fiables, o solo en una cuenta de redes sociales?
  • ¿Se citan periodistas, instituciones o expertos reales?

Paso 2. 

  • Fijaos en el contenido. Completad la siguiente checklist:

  • Se usan palabras exageradas.
  • Titulares muy llamativos que no se desarrollan bien en el texto.
  • Falta de datos concretos (fechas, lugares, cifras comprobables).

Paso 3.

Ahora fijaos en las fotos.

¿Hay algo en la imagen, el vídeo o el audio que resulte extraño o incoherente?

  • Rasgos físicos raros (manos deformes, caras poco naturales).
  • Objetos que no encajan con la realidad (uniformes incorrectos, textos borrosos).
  • Vídeos o audios sin contexto claro o sin fuente original.

Paso 4.

Ahora volved a las preguntas de reflexión. ¿Ha cambiado vuestra opinión en algo?

La profesora hará sonar una canción y debéis moveros por la clase comentando vuestra opinión sobre este tema hasta que la canción acabe.

A. LET'S READ!

Read the fable below carefully. (Bacalah fabel berikut dengan saksama.)

The Rabbit and the Turtle

Once upon a time, there was a rabbit. He was very proud of himself because he could run very fast. He often laughed at other animals because they walked slowly. One day, the rabbit met a turtle. The turtle walked very, very slowly.

"Hey, Turtle! You are so slow!" said the rabbit, laughing.

The turtle felt angry but he stayed calm. "Why don't we have a race, Rabbit? Let's see who is faster," said the turtle.

The rabbit laughed even harder. "You? Race with me? That's funny! But okay, let's race."

The race began. The rabbit ran very fast and left the turtle far behind. The rabbit thought, "The turtle is so slow. I have plenty of time. I can take a nap." So the rabbit slept under a big tree.

Meanwhile, the turtle kept walking. He did not stop. He walked slowly but step by step, he got closer to the finish line.

When the rabbit woke up, he ran as fast as he could. But it was too late. The turtle had already crossed the finish line. The turtle won the race.

The rabbit felt very ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, Turtle. I laughed at you. Now I understand that being fast is not everything."

The turtle smiled and said, "It's okay, Rabbit. Slow and steady wins the race."

Moral value: Don't underestimate others. Keep trying and never give up.
