I am evaluation the website Martin Luther King Jr "A True Historical Examination".
1. Who is the source of the information?
By looking at the bottom left page I can see that Newsweek Magazine published this site.
2. What are you getting?
The information that they are trying to persuade on the website I have never heard before. Example: The site quotes "I'm f***ing for god" and "I'm not a negro tonight". Everything that I have ever learned about this man contradicts these two quotes they say Martin Luther King Jr. said.
3. When was the site created?
The site was published a long time ago. It says the date of publishment was January 19, 1998 so it can not be very creditable.
4. Where?
The site has a orginzation of org. after there url and that indicates that a wide assortment of groups, including non-profit organizations created this site.
5. Why are you here?
This site is title Martin Luther King Jr. "A True Historical Examination" and yet it has links saying "Rap Lyrics" and "Try our MLK Pop Quiz". That has absolutely nothing to do with Martin Luther King Jr.
6. How can you tell whats what?
You can clearly tell that the message that was persude was not the message recieved.
You make a very good observation in point #5, “Why are you here?” I do not understand why a website about MLK involves historical content should be concerned with “Rap Lyrics”. Good job with your overall observations. The format that you used was very easy to follow. I feel answering each point individually guides the reader through the 5 W’s.
ReplyDeleteLooking at a website that says things you KNOW are not actual facts is the easiest way to discredit its sources. Good job :)
