Evaluations of Websites


I found that the CIA Factbook is not a good resource for a research paper.  I think that it has more opinions posted than actual facts.  A Message to Garcia is not a useful resource either.  The website tells an awesome story but it doesn’t give many facts.   The Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission’s website appears to be a good source of information because it gives a lot of facts.  NASA Kids’ Club is definitely not a good website to use.  There is no information, just games.  The name of the site, CNN Opinion, says that it is not a resource.  The word opinion tells you that there are no facts.  The New York Times has valid information.  It is an online newspaper so it has facts.  I found that Fox News is not a good website.  Right in the web address, it says opinion.  Wikipedia lists the websites that they got their information from.  Mr. Schick’s blog is not a good resource for a research paper.  It is a blog that tells us what our class’s homework is.  The only paper it would be good for is if we were writing about our homework!
