Be careful with those websites....

Believe it or not, some Web sites do not have accurate information on them. Some Web site material can be accessed by anyone in the whole world. That means that people can make up information and post it on Web sites. Another thing to look out for is Web sites that are opinion based. When a Web site is written by one specific person, unless they are an expert, they are probably basing their information off of an opinion of their own.

Look at the following Web sites and see if you feel like they would be good Web sites to get information off of.
