Your review should include at least TWO scholarly sources outside of class texts.

This essay is NOT a review of a specific article on the Internet. It is also NOT a review of the CDC site from the rhetorical analysis assignment. Instead, you will choose a different site such as www.chadd.org,http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder/index.shtml,http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/adhd/DS00275, or http://www.webmd.com/add-adhd/default.htm.

Directions:

1.Develop a set of criteria that the general public would see as acceptable for a website about diseases and disorders (like ADHD). To help you select criteria, please visithttp://olinuris.library.cornell.edu/ref/research/webcrit.html where you will find a list of criteria commonly used to evaluate websites. Also, review the Discussion Questions for the week concerning the development of criteria for reviewing websites.

2.Describe the website you have chosen.

3.Focus the majority of the essay on explaining how the site does (or does not) meet the criteria you established above.

Review Chapter 11 “Reviews” in The Call to Write, which includes sample reviews and advice on writing reviews.
