Student Handout 2 - Reference Page: Website Evaluation Process

Before You Begin
Pre-Evaluation:
Before you even start your search for information, take time to think about what you are
looking for. Identify whether you are looking for facts or opinions. If you want opinions, do you want
respected experts or just anybody? Do you need statistics, narratives, eyewitness accounts or descriptions?
Are you looking to support your own position or prove something? By having a firmly identified goal you
will be able to screen sources against that goal quickly and easily.



Lesson - Website Validity and Reliability (High School)

Students understand that online sources are not always reliable, nor is information found online always valid. They use a set of criteria to evaluate online sources on a given topic and reflect on the selection process. Students then engage in a collaborative project that entails research, expository writing, and source citation.
