Read Between the Lines
Make a judgment about the site’s reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the information I contains. Here are some ways to do this:
· Look for facts you know or can check with a trusted source. If the site gets those facts right, it’s more likely that the facts on the site are also accurate.
· Study the language used. Is it angry, satiric or overly impassioned? This may indicate that the site is biased.
· Consider whether the arguments are logical and backed up by evidence, and whether the site presents only one point of view.
· Check the links to the source that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether in print or online, should include a bibliography.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
