1. Integrate the three articles into an overall discussion of the topic describing what you learned from the three articles. Which article did you find more informative and why?
2. Discuss and describe the kind of articles or web pages provided by the three search engines. Did the search engine provide peer reviewed articles? …Newspaper articles? …Governmental sources? …Other?
