Level 1 - Module 1 - Unit 1.3 - Understanding Search Results
This Workbook includes:
Module 1 – Using Devices and Handling Information
Unit 1.3 – Understand that search results may include sponsored results or advertisements and be able to recognise these
Task 1 – Learners are introduced to the difference between sponsored and organic results through a guided example. They complete a matching activity to identify and reinforce the key terms.
Task 2 – A practical “spot the ads” activity where learners examine a set of trainer search results. They must distinguish paid adverts from organic results and reflect on why adverts appear.
Task 3 – A whole-class interactive “True or False” game. Learners test their understanding of how ads work, how search engines benefit, and how adverts are displayed, using tutor-led statement cards.
Task 4 – Learners explore real-world scenarios (e.g., choosing a smartphone, revision website, or takeaway) and evaluate search results for trustworthiness, reliability, and bias. They record and justify their reasoning.
Task 5 – A final challenge where learners carry out their own online search, screenshot results, identify adverts vs. reliable sources, and present their findings in a short presentation.
