With all the information that is available today, you must be on your guard as you read. Nothing is automatically true just because it is in print or on the Web. You need to develop the ability to read critically. That is, you need to ask questions like these about the text and about the writer.
• Where is this material from? Is this a valid source of information?
• Who is the writer? Is he or she qualified to write about this topic?
• Can I trust the information here?
• What is the writer's purpose in writing this?
• What is the writer's point of view about the topic?
• How does this information compare to what I already know? • Based on what I already know and believe, do I agree?
