Suggested Steps:

1. What evaluative criteria could be used to judge an Internet site?

2. Which of these criteria and at what sophistication level could be used for novices, intermediates, and advanced learners?

3. What strategies could I use in 15 minutes to teach these evaluative criteria to the learners?

4. How would I know that the learners had applied the strategies taught as they did an actual topical unit?
