Recap of web site evaluation, let's see what you remember:

| Accessibility Accuracy Appropriate Appealing |
-will it be there when you need it? -anybody can publish, who is behind this site? -is it age appropriate? -doesn't need to be glitzy but does it meet your needs? |
Duffy, M. (n.d.). The causes of world war I - .com site -- who published this site? What's the domain? Is it biased? When was it last updated? javascript:alert(document.lastModified) When was it published? Would you consider it a reliable site based on what you know of web site evaluation? Why or why not?
Karpilovsky, S. (n.d.). The great war causes - review of "~" in web address -- what about this site? What is the first thing you should look at when beginning to evaluate a web site?
PBS, (n.d.). WWI - primary sources -- why would a site with primary sources be relevant to web site evaluation?
Field, A. (n.d.). Causes of WWI - interactive quiz on WWI -- fill out the worksheet you have been handed as you work your way through this interactive quiz. You will be asked to have your score verified by one of the teachers before you sign off the site. Names and dates are important to answering questions properly so take special note of them. You'll receive ten points for a good answer and minus twenty for a wrong one. Be careful as you progress through the quiz. You may have to stop in middle so note your scores after each section. On your next day in the RC you will be asked to verify some of this information after a short lesson on effective searching. Don't waste time, the quiz will take you the rest of the period.
Fleetwood, R. (2004). The Western Front - Would you have made a good officer? -- this simulation, produced by Rob Fleetwood of Smestow School, is intended to aid pupils' understanding of what the First World War must have been like for the men who fought it.
