1. Go to my.hrw.com and login to your textbook acccount. 2. Pages 576-578 review the information in the lesson from Tuesday. (Since I have your notes, the information in the textbook is especially helpful in helping you review the credibility of media.) 3. Go to the Houston Chronicle website.

4. STEP 4 SHOULD BE FINISHED IN CLASS. Find three news articles from the __Houston Chronicle__ to evaluate. Use the worksheet to jot down your observations. Make sure you put the title of the articles down as well. When you are finished, save the file, and print it out. In the writing lab, you do NOT want to use the document writer. Use the other printer choice instead. The electronic file for the worksheet is below:

5. Choose the most credible article out of the three to complete this step:


 * Download the electronic file for "Produce Your Own Media."Create a bibliography over the one news article you chose using [|http://easybib.com]. You will need to look for how to write a bibliography for a newspaper article that is in an electronic format. Copy and paste that bibliography at the top of the left-hand side of the chart on the "Produce Your Own Media" file.
 * Underneath the bibliography (on the left-hand side), jot down notes that explain what makes your article credible.
 * Then, redraft the news article to make it seem **UNRELIABLE** . (You will want to copy and paste the original article on the right-hand side, change what you need to make it **UNRELIABLE**, and highlight or underline your changes.)

6. Save your product so we can access the electronic file later and print it out on the laser printer in the writing lab. If you are able to access this wiki, then you can also sign in to the wiki, go to the "Class Projects" link, click "edit" at the top of that page, and upload your file to that page under the appropriate class so that we can save time when presenting. Remember, for this product, I want a printed copy AND an electronic copy.
