Week 7 Materials & Resources
Monday's Materials & Homework
Today we are going to practice evaluating websites. Don't forget to think about the information from Chapter 4 as well as the CRAAP test. We will look through some websites together in class and discuss our ideas as a class.
Things to think about while scanning the pages:
Is the author mentioned?
Does the article link to outside sources?
Are sources mentioned? Do they seem credible?
If it is a research report, does it seem to evaluate the research? Is the opposite view mentioned?
