Students will be given a lesson on how to judge the accuracy of a Web Site and if it should or should not be used for research. The instructor will go through the Web Site http://www.quick.org.uk/menu.htm which will show students how to evaluate Web Sites. Later they will find three Web Sites (on the related subject) and evaluate sites of their choosing.
This lesson plan has been modified to include two worksheets on the causes of the Civil War. These worksheets should be used by the social studies teacher to evaluate students' learning. Any subject may use the evaluation Web Site links and worksheets.
