Students will use the web sites listed and are encouraged to find their own sites to create a project supporting one of the two views; "It is real and dangerous" or "The government has created a dangerous hoax with the H1N1 virus".
The presentation must be reviewed and accepted by the instructor and can be any form or combination of media. Any web site you include should be checked for validity by using alexa.comf or links back to your site. You should also check the site for authenticity by going to http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingLib/Guides/Internet/EvalForm_General_Barker.pdf and evaluate each site.
