As you read the two articles you've chosen, consider the following questions as they relate to the article's content, tone, and sourcing. Don't feel limited to these.

Take notes as you go. Over the next two weeks, we will discuss what you've found.


 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way you understand it? Highwaymen - information repeated in multiple sections
 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Think about sections, sources, and phrasing. Is there anything that distracted you? Highwaymen: not neutral ex: "...thrived...through their sheer determination to succeed..."
 * Are important aspects of the subject missing or incorrect? Highwaymen: market value, collections
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? Highwaymen: certain phrases could be more neutral
 * Wikipedia seeks to represent perspectives in proportion to their prominence in the body of literature on a subject. Are there viewpoints in the article that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? Highwaymen: does not discuss role of high school teacher, Zanobia Jefferson
 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference that supports the claim? Where does the information come from? How would you describe the quality of the sources?
 * If you were to grade this article, what grade would you give it?
