Detailed Lesson Plan: Preparation

This lesson plan teaches students how to evaluate web resources over three parts. First, it shows different search engine results to demonstrate variability. Second, it explains and applies five evaluation criteria - accuracy, authority, objectivity, currency, and coverage - by having students analyze example websites in groups. Third, it summarizes the techniques and gets student feedback. The goal is for students to understand how to critically examine a website's author, date, purpose, and reliability of information and links.
