Is it for REAL?

Check out the following web sites - what are three different ways you could evaluate each of them? Which of them is the "real" site, which is fake?

How would you evaluate the sites to tell if they are good information or if someone is trying to pull your leg.

Your task is: 1. Develop a rubric with your partner that you will use with your partner to decide which of the following websites can be trusted and which cannot. Each of the sites has hints as to whether or not the information you find can be trusted. Your rubric should have three criteria you will use to evaluate the web sites. Create a grid, for your rubric, following this example:


 * **Criteria** || **Not a good source** || **OK source** || **Great source** ||
 * Criteria 1 ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Criteria 2 ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Criteria 3 ||  ||   ||   ||

2. Use your rubric to determine which of these are valid information and which are not.
