Martin Luther King & National Myths: a Web Site Evaluation Assignment

 Have a dream!

Part One

Consider the topic of Martin Luther King. Take a brief look at all of the following five sites to get a sense of which ones are reliable sources of information.

  1. Doctor King's Legacy
  2. The Life and Legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr.
  3. The Martin Luther King You Don't See on TV
  4. Myths of Martin Luther King
  5. The Forgotten Martin Luther King
  6. Americans see Martin Luther King Jr. as a hero now, but that wasn’t the case during his lifetime

Part Two

Once you have looked at all the sites, select two of them to evaluate more thoroughly. Think about the criteria and questions that have been discussed. You may use this evaluation checklist to help you complete the assignment.
