Introduce students to the power of modern satire with this video-based lesson featuring a behind-the-scenes look at Birds Aren’t Real, a satirical conspiracy theory group that insists the U.S. government has replaced all birds with surveillance drones to spy on people. Begin with a quick discussion and definition of satire and then view The Truth Behind Birds Aren’t Real – My Life Online, a high-quality 23-minute documentary available for free (with ads) via two online platforms. Next, ask students to complete a set of critical thinking questions. Finally, review their answers with a full-class debrief/discussion. This 4-page download (PDF + Google Drive version of student handout) includes step-by-step suggested lesson procedures, links to the free video content, and a question set for students that includes direct recall of information to fill out during the viewing as well as deeper-thinking questions that require synthesis of information and reflection on personal connections for them to complete after viewing the program. A two-page answer key for easy grading or guiding of a classroom discussion is also included. Students can participate in a full-class viewing or watch at their own speed on 1:1 devices or in your school’s computer lab. Want more activities like this one?
