Final Thoughts

How to know what are good resources?

When we got together we decide to find topics that might be controversial and those that are not. The ones that are not controversial are usually more factually based and are less debatable. While hot topics will allow for less accuracy in a larger population of sites.

So in hopes of controversy we looked up Barack Obama. No figure can stir more controversy than American Presidents.

Here are our findings:

The Good:
This was a very reliable source that allows us to clearly see factual information about our current president. It eliminates much bias and garbage that we would normally have to sift through. Although, we did not see anything that viewed him in an analytic lens.
www.whitehouse.gov


The Ugly:
Although this illustrates many of the 5 W's we have discussed, it is extremely biased and potentially a harmful source for young readers.

I enjoyed learning about the movie makers and all of the potential for our trailers. I cant wait to delve further into my project and to see all that my fellow classmates come up with!

Have  a great break!
