This week, we are discussing lateral reading and how it can be used to avoid scams.

1. Review recent scam alerts from the Federal Trade Commission: https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/features/scam-alerts
2. Create and submit a brochure that explains a scam and examines how to avoid it. Include a discussion of the ways lateral reading or other fact-checking strategies might help a person avoid this scam or scams in general.

There are some templates for brochures here: https://templates.office.com/en-us/brochures 

You can use one of these or create your own. If you need to sign in to access premium templates, use your WCU email and password.
