The Mayan Calendar: a Web Site Evaluation Assignment

PART ONE: Consider the topic of "The Mayan Calendar." Take a quick look at the following seven sites to get a sense of which ones are reliable sources of information.

  1. Research on the Mayan "Calendar"
  2. Maya Calendar and Cosmology
  3. Mayan Prophecies and Calendar
  4. Dreamspell Calendar
  5. Mystery of the Maya
  6. Portals of Destiny
  7. Rabbit in the Moon

PART TWO: Select two sites to evaluate more thoroughly.  If any of the links above are not working, please choose among the other sites. If any of the seven stand out as particularly better or worse than the others, select them.

PART THREE: Briefly evaluate the two sites you have selected. Consider the appropriateness, accuracy, authorship, purpose, detail and design, and overall value of each site. Address as many of the questions discussed earlier as you can. 

Half a page should do it!  Submit your analysis to Lois Smith by e-mail.
