Introduction

The trainer starts by presenting the activity to the whole class. By presenting the conspiracy mapping sheet on the projector screen or by writing the categories on the whiteboard.

They then present the conspiracies one by one and the whole class decides where to put them - or if they don't fit in any of the categories. 

Start with an example of a conspiracy theory that seems unlikely to be true on its own, but other theories can build on the same ideas, and together they seem to explain each other. An example could be the Ancient Aliens theory. On its own its seems unlikely and difficult to prove, but combine it with Ancient astronauts and Pyramids, or even Hollow Earth, and you have a fuller picture with evidence and history and cosmology.

Find other examples of this using whatever ideas come up in the classroom.
