The teacher divides the class into teams of three or four. Each team draws a card. Teams paste the printout of the home page in the middle of a large piece of poster board. Teams draw lines from the original home page on the poster board to the links connected to it. Each team gives an oral presentation to the class using their visual that explains the connections to the original site they found and what these connections tell us about the site.
Classmates evaluate the presentations using predetermined evaluation qualities.
Variation Instead of making the presentation on poster board, students may create 3-D representations of the links using foam balls and wire or any other material. In addition to the classroom presentation by each group, students may create an electronic representation of their findings and post it on the district's, school's, or classroom's Web site. A wide range of organizations, including mine, have created a link that points to Professor Butz's site. Cross-referencing the links will not give Zack a definitive answer about the value of the information. For example, Butz is on the same page as links to the Online Fascist Resource Page, Knights of Michigan KKK, White Power Central, and Texas Aryan Nationalist Skinheads-sites that reveal Butz's views are not widely held.
