Fourth Grade--ABC's of Website Evaluation

Welcome, 4th Graders!  Your assignment today is to go to a website and evaluate it using our ABC's.

Remember:

A=Author  Who created the site?  Are they an expert?

B=Bias    Is it trying to sell you something?  Is it the opinion of the author?

C=Credibility + Currency  Can you verify the information by looking in our print encyclopedias
or on another site like World Book Online?

What is the copyright date?
