Process
You are assigned to teams of three. Together you will visit the websites linked below and explore them.
When you are finished looking at each of them discuss amongst yourselves what you thought of them and then vote on which ones you thought were real. Remember to keep track of the tallies each time you vote and have a different person count and record the results each round.
Now let's look at what makes a good website and how you should evaluate a website for accuracy and reliability of information.
As a team, visit the following websites and read them for suggestions on how to evaluate websites:

Now, you are ready to use the website evaluation form to evaluate the three websites you already visited. Download six copies of the form, three for each person, and you are ready for the next step!
Now that you know the important things to look for when evaluating a website you are going to go back and look at the three you explored in the beginning of this quest with an "experienced" eye. Using the website evaluation form you just downloaded, revisit the following websites and evaluate them individually.
