Research and Evaluate
Description:
When using the Internet to do research, it is important to know how to find information and to know if the information is actually
true or if someone just made it up. When you do research a great deal you will have certain sites you will use more frequently than
others. Having quick access to these sites can help make research easier and more efficient.

For this project, you will first set up your browser so that you can search using the search engine you like best. You will need to choose
whether your search box uses Google, Yahoo, or Bing. Then place three websites in your Bookmark Toolbar. Then go through the
process of researching your chosen topic using keywords. You will also choose five sources, and evaluate those five sources. You will
need to describe the process you used to find the information and why you chose that information. Then you will need to evaluate the
information using the three criteria of authority, accuracy, and currency. Lastly, you will need to cite the sources you found.

Steps for Completion:

1. Set up browser.
2. Choose a research topic.
3. Place three websites in the Bookmark toolbar.
4. Find five sources and write a description of why you chose those sources.
5. Evaluate the five sources. This should be at least a page of information.
6. Cite the five sources.
