What to Put on a Handwritten Newspaper About Not Spreading Internet Rumors

This guide turns “don't spread rumors” into a step-by-step poster plan: how rumors usually look, a three-step check, what to do instead of forwarding, and a left-right layout with easy slogans. Great for students working alone, or for parents and teachers discussing online civility together.

Direct Answer

A handwritten newspaper about rumors works best when it follows one visible path: see the message, pause, check it, then decide whether to share. Explain the common signs of an online rumor, such as frightening headlines, pressure to forward, and missing sources. Then show a three-step check: who posted it, is there evidence, and can an adult confirm it. Finish with personal actions like not forwarding, not adding comments, and telling a parent or teacher. A left-side gray “unverified” area and a right-side bright “checked” area joined by an arrow keeps the page clear.

Start With One Idea That Runs Through the Page

“Don't spread rumors” can sound like a single slogan, and a poster built only on slogans feels empty. Turn it into a visible path: see the message, pause, check it, then decide whether to share. Every column, drawing, and short line should follow that path so readers understand your point at a glance.

A simple main title is “Check Before You Share,” with a smaller line underneath such as “Be the person who slows down.”

Three Columns That Fill the Whole Page

Column 1: How rumors usually look

Scary headlines that use words like urgent, warning, or delete this now.
Claims that “everyone is talking about it,” but no clear source.
Pictures that do not match the text, or a single blurry screenshot.
Pressure to forward it to family right away.

Column 2: My three-step check

Who posted it? A school notice or trusted channel, or an account you have never seen?
Is there evidence? Real time, place, and full details, or just one sentence?
Ask an adult. If you are unsure, check with a parent or teacher instead of guessing.

Column 3: What I will do

I will not forward it or add dramatic comments.
I will not ask a group chat to “spread this everywhere.”
I will tell a parent or teacher, and use the report button when it is available.
Before posting anything myself, I will ask: is this true, and could it mislead someone?

Short Lines You Can Copy Straight Onto the Page

Pause before you share, especially when you are not sure.
The scarier the headline, the slower you should go.
No unknown links, no unverified stories.
Being polite online counts as much as being safe online.

If you still have space, add a small “My Online Manners Promise” box with three or four promises, such as no name-calling, no following the crowd, and no sharing friends' private information.

Layout: Gray on One Side, Bright on the Other

A left-right contrast works well for this topic:

Left side: gray or dark bubbles and torn paper labelled “not verified.”
Right side: light yellow and blue with a magnifying glass, check marks, and a small megaphone labelled “checked.”
Middle: one thick arrow with the words “pause and check.”

Put the title across the top, give each column its own border colour, and keep every column to two or four sentences. Leave the rest of the space for drawings and breathing room, and use no more than three main colours so the page stays readable from a distance.

A Three-Minute Check Before You Hand It In

Does the poster say what I will actually do, not just what I believe?
Does every line relate to online civility and internet safety?
Are the titles and short lines free of spelling mistakes, and does any drawing cover the text?

If you would like a different layout or more wording for an online civility theme, open the 智慧手抄报 WeChat mini program, pick a template and some text, then finish the poster by hand.

FAQ

How many columns should this poster have?

Three columns are usually enough: how rumors look, how I check them, and what I will do. Keep each column to two or four short sentences so there is room for drawings and white space.

Can I include a real rumor as an example?

It is better not to repeat a real rumor, because that spreads it again. Describe general signs instead, such as exaggerated headlines, pressure to forward, or screenshots with no source.

How do I keep the poster from sounding like a lecture?

After every slogan, add a concrete action: I will not click, I will not forward, I will ask an adult first. If each part returns to what you actually do, the poster stays practical.
