3.    Tyler Schroeder (my friend) shared Kaden’s post on Facebook which appeared on my feed 

5.    Would you share this?  Why or why not?

·      I would not share this. The headline reads “ITS OFFICIAL”, but the article does not make it seem that way. The article is difficult to read and hard to tell what is actually going on.

6.    But you really, really want to share this post.  What can you do?

·     However, if I did want to share this post I would try to research similar articles so I can have a more clear understanding of what is going on. Then I could possibly explain that in my post.
