  5. Is the information good information? FACTS andcontent

  6. F. Facts And Content Verify Info (Find two – three other sources) Grammar (Sentence structure, wording, spelling) To the Point or Vague (Is it concise?) Good flow (Does the article read well?)

  7. Verify Information • are facts and content in resource correct • find other websites or resources to verify info • include scholarly sites, data bases, and hard copy • use information that verifies info as citations

  8. Proper Grammar • use web sites that are properly written • poor grammar may also mean poor information • good info… bad grammar… find another site

  9. To The Point • site must be clear, concise, and to the point • do not accept a website that is vague • avoid web sites with needless words • vague may indicate bias or lack of research

  10. Web Example Verifiable Facts To The Point Grammar Correct Content

  11. F. Information Found On Web Live Link Christopher Columbus 1. Christopher Columbus was born in Sydney, Australia. 2. He is buried in Valladolid, Spain. Are these stated points really true?

  12. Born in Sydney, Australia? Buried in Valladolid, Spain. F. Checking These Facts With Google Three sites say Genoa, Italy Finding where Columbus is buried is much harder than where he died. Watch from live link. Look for video title below

  13. October 12, 1492: Juan Rodriguez Bermejo, a sailor on the Pinta, shouts, “Land, Land!” Columbus later claims he first spotted land and thus will collect the lifetime pension promised. F. Different Google Results Live Link Who first saw America on the Columbus voyage?

  14. Live Link CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS discovered America in 1492. At least that is what all elementary school children were always taught: "In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue." Of course, Columbus never did "discover" North America, and the regions he did explore were already inhabited F. Vague Or Clear Live Link Christopher Columbus was a master navigator and admiral whose four transatlantic voyages (1492–93, 1493–96, 1498–1500 and 1502–04) opened the way for European exploration, exploitation and colonization of the Americas.  Top link is more colorful, but is more vague and not as specific and to the point as the second.

  15. Explorer, navigator, Columbus was born in 1451, in the Republic of Genoa (Italy) to the son of a weaver. Columbus first went to sea as a teenager, participating in several trading voyages in the Mediterranean and Aegean seas. F. Grammar Is Important ChristoferColumbis was a great explorer who was born in 1451 in Genoa, Italy to the son of a weaver who encouraged his sun to goto see as a teeneager and made shure he traded voyages in the Mediteranian and Again Sees.
