September 6, 2011

Self-Starter:  Individual Reading -- Pick up your folder, get out your book, and quietly read.  Don't forget to fill out the log.

2. About filling out a Website Evaluation

3.  Go to Computer Lab 201 to evaluate sites and take notes on your celebrity.

By the end of the period Evaluations and Notes on two sources  (three for pairs) are due.

Pick the sites that look the most promising, and start filling  out a
Web Page Evaluation Checklist for each. Web Page Evaluation Checklist update.doc
Download this file.  Save it with three (or five) different names to your thumbdrive or to your folder on the computer (titled with your student number). I just add a number to the name of each document as I save it.  If you save them all with the same name,  each one will copy over the other.

You can fill it out on the computer and save it to your thumb drive. You may also use hard copied (handouts in class) for this, but doing it online is easier.

You may use Google today to search -- as well as the other search engines and data bases we used last time.
You may NOT use Wikipedia as a source unless I give you permission. 

Web Page Evaluation Checklist update.doc

1.  Fill out the evaluation on the first page.
2.  Take notes from that site on the second page.
You are using your notes on this to keep track of what you found where. 

If you are working alone, you will need three evaluation pages altogether.
If you are working with a partner, you will need five evaluation pages altogether.

Please note that Google is not a website. It is a search engine to find websites. You can not use Google (or other search engines or databases) as a source for your projects. 


Because Wikipedia can be edited by anyone, make sure you carefully check any facts you find there. You may not use Wikipedia as one of your sources.  

Of course, your other sources may also be inaccurate.  That is one of the reasons we use several sources. 
I do recommend IMDB as a generally trustworthy site.  
Biography.com is usually accurate and helpful.
