Best Decade: Comparing Sources and Formats!

Today we will:

- Watch 2 videos summarizing the 2000s compare their content and presentation
- Read 2 articles in groups of 4
- Compare and contrast the sources with each other and answer basic questions:
  1. Where are the articles from?  Are the sources reliable?
  2. Does the author portray the information in a biased way, or are they objectively presenting information?
  3. How is the information presented?  Which source is more interesting to use?
  4. Did the author highlight the most important information from the decade?
  5. How could articles like these articles help with your decade research?
