Researching Ancient Civilizations

Fact Checking

Before doing a google search, think about which links you will choose. Before you click on a link, look at the URL to see "Where" it comes from. When you click on a link, look for "Who" wrote it. You can also do a quick search to see if it's "True" - try using one of these links: http://bit.ly.com/fact-search or www.snopes.com.

Remember:

  • Where?
  • Who?
  • True?
