Sources

What is it about the internet?  Sources and reliability. Google: famous failures. See this? Compare to this.


Let's think about the C.R.A.A.P. test for this site.  Currency? Relevance? Authority? Accuracy? Purpose?

You are going to the lab and looking at the links below. Rate each site using the CRAAP test. Write down the name of the site, and then underneath spell out CRAAP running down the page. Next to each letter, write out your assessment of the site in that category. You are thinking in terms of using information from this site for an SCC class assignment of some sort on the history of Veteran's Day.

Here are the links:

1. http://www.military.com/military-report/history-of-veterans-day

2. http://www.history.army.mil/index.html

3. http://www.blackfive.net/main/

4. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/today/nov11.html

When you are done with this, hand in your daybook and work on the draft that is due Monday.

Homework:


1. Draft #1 Informing is due Monday.
