What criteria should you use to decide whether a web site has good information for a world history assignment?

Open your word document for your article where you have saved your URLs.  Choose one of your web sites to critique. Explore the web site and print out the first page only.  In the margin or on the back page tell why this was a good source or why on second examination it wasn't such a good choice.
