Debates
All sources must be cited in Noodle Tools. Don't forget your control #s!
Look at both sides of the issue at the Debatabase
Use the Opposing Viewpoints Database at the Albany, Contra Costa or Berkeley LIbrary.
Tips for finding reliable websites:
-look at the date to see if it's too old (2004 or earlier)
-look for "About Us" or the author's credentials
-look to see if the author listed his/her sources
-,org is neither good or bad
-.edu could have been written by a student
site:.gov or site:.edu
use quotations to look for phrases "intelligent design"
