Lesson Plan Reviews
This is a review of two different lesson plans that I found from different sources on the internet.

Review
Accuracy: This document does not have direct contact information listed however their is a biography of Carolyn Wilhelm that lists her degree and if needed she could be contacted through the organization that created the website. Her credentials show that she has considerable experience and degrees to qualify her for writing this lesson plan.
Authority: The site that this lesson plan is published from is quite reputable. It is endorsed by the NCTE and International Reading Association. To be published on this site you must meet both sets of standards.
Objectivity: This lesson is not opinion based but sets up a guideline for a lesson. It seems that it was written for use in her own classroom and then was shared on through this organization.
Currency: None of the links on this page are dead. The site itself is current as it was only started in 2002.
Coverage: This site is free and does not have any special linking software. There is also a form where you can leave feedback for the editors of the website in order to meet the needs of the site users.
Lesson Plan 2
Citation
Author: Carol Gosset
Title: Addition Grab Two
Date Posted: Not Found
Affiliated Institution/Organization: Honey Pot Press/Gosset's Kindergarten Connection

Review
Accuracy: This lesson plan does have contacted information listed although it seems unclear about if the information is from the actual creator of the plan or if it is from the publisher of the plan.
Authority: The author of the lesson plan also seems to be the publisher of the website. Her qualifications are not listed.
Objectivity: The information in this lesson plan is again basic although whether or not this plan has been used in a classroom seems unclear. Because the author of the website also has a business associated with this lesson it is not without bias
Currency: This particular lesson has no information about when it was published however the main webpage says 1997 which could imply the information is outdated.
Coverage: The main page requires flash and is not always centered correctly with graphics. There is no fee associated with this lesson or website. It does not appear to have a text only option.
