Finding and evaluating info on the web assignment

The Great Moon Hoax:
the purpose is that this was a persuasive essay because they are tryig to say that NASA never landed on the moon. the authority is that the author is Dr. Tony Phillips, the producer is Dr. Tony Phillips, the curator is Bryan Walls, Media Relations is Steve Roy, Responsible NASA official is Ron Koczor. The currency is the date of the article is Feb. 23, 2001 which is very outdated. The intended audience and appropriateness is anyone interested in NASA or space. many students interested in science would like this article. The informational content is that the topic is relevant because i am interested in the moon landing and the topic has been covered at a sufficient level. This is an educational cite because it gives you a lot of information about the landing on the moon in 1969. It is also a government cite because NASA is a government organization.

moon landing

I believe that we landed on the moon. I believe this because all of my science teachers have taught me that we went to the moon in 1969. There is many evidence that can prove that we landed on the moon i believe that it would be to hard to stage this event and back it up. All the photos that were taken on the moon are all real i believe. There are some moon landing conspiracy theories that believe that NASA staged the moon landing in 1969. All though that some people believe these theories i have to disagree with them. My parents are the main reason i believe that the moon landing is true because they have convinced me that it is true because they were alive during the moon landing.

Research paper 2/9/10

Jackie Robinson
I really enjoy watching baseball. i used to live in michigan, so i am a Detroit Tigers fan. what interests me about this topic is that i think Jackie Robinson was not only one of the greatest baseball players but was also a great individual. he was the first african american major league baseball player. over ten seasons he played in six world series and six all-star games. his MLB debut was April 15th, 1947 for the Brooklyn Dodgers. i wanted to write about Jackie Robinson because a lot of people today don't know who he is or what he has done. His major league debut brought an end to segregation that lasted sixty years. Robinson brought the style of the Negro Leagues with him. He transformed the game from a static, power-oriented one to the more dynamic mixture of speed with power. Throughout the history of baseball there have been many legendary and talented athletes to play the game and Jackie Robinson is one of them. Through racism, hatred, and skepticism he stepped up to the plate in every sense of the word and became the first black professional baseball player in history.
