(3)a search engine (altavista, Lycos, etc.)
(4)a newspaper (Miami Herald)

3. Relate the site to concept discussed in class
4. Your opinion of site using the following criteria: 1=Outstanding, a must see; 2=very good, well above average; 3=helpful, fuctional; 4=would seldom use, nothing special; 5=wouldn't recommend under any circumstance. Might want to say why for each of the above.
