Hi Monica,

It looks good. I think you do a good job of integrating online reading comprehension into your lesson plan, and unit. 

Two things I would adjust:
1: Reading the dark text on the red background is challenging. I would still include your lesson plan and materials on a Google Doc, and then embed the gDoc on the blog post, or have it link out. You want to make it as easy as possibly to read and retrieve the information. 

2. I appreciate your integration of evaluation of validity in the use of sources. One thing I'd push back on is the use of a checklist to evaluate the information. If you still want your students to use the checklist, I would suggest having them include a written statement about why they think the information on the site/page is credible...and a separate statement on why they think it is relevant. In previous classes I had students use the terms useful and truthful instead of relevant and credible.

Good work overall. Badge awarded.
-Ian
