Introduction

Today, we will be learning about Web pages. There are millions of pages on the internet. Our goal today is to analyze Web pages and assess if the information is true or false.

Objectives

1. The student will investigate the designated links.
2. The student will assess the information on each Web page.
3. The student will produce a written summary discussing the site and its' relation to their feelings and emotions.

Brief Summary of Links

I constructed this web page to discuss the facts on whether or not milk is a necessity and if we truly need it. I chose my links because they covered all areas of milk both scientifically and opinions. The sites that provided both positives and negatives were excellent because students are able to see both sides, but yet they still needed to think for themselves and compare it to their experiences and beliefs. I believe when students read the material and truly analyze it personally they will uncover more than meets the eye.
