Reliving the Sixties: a Web Site Evaluation Assignment

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

  1. Counterculture of the Sixties
  2. American Cultural History: 1960 - 1969
  3. The Almost Great Society:  The 1960s
  4. The Psychedelic Sixties
  5. A Trip Through the Sixties by Michael Dare
  6. Sixties Project
  7. The Sixties Section of the BBHQ

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 worth 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
