  1. The Website Games

  2. Four website tributes battle to be the last website standing. They will go through four rigorous trials and the last website standing will be acceptable to use in your research paper. Let the games begin…

  3. Our Tribute Websites: • http://zapatopi.net/treeoctopus/ • http://www.brandrepublic.com/News/798436/BBC-launches-iPlayer-campaign-flying-penguin-footage/ • https://worldwildlife.org/species/black-rhino • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goliath_frog

  4. Trial #1: Relevancy Is the Information specific to the topic? Does this source contain the information you need? Is it at the level you need?

  5. Trial #2: Authority Is the author and publisher clearly identified? Does the author have appropriate qualifications? Does the site inform rather than entertain or promote?

  6. Trial #3: Accuracy Is the site free of typos and grammatical errors? Is the site well researched and documented (bibliography)? Are the site’s links reputable and working?

  7. Trial #4: Currency Is the information up to date? Are the statistics current? Are the dates of creation and updates indicated?
