Lang Assignment 2

I just finished my first digital story and I could use this format for other classes such as history on a person or event. I enjoyed putting the whole project together and deciding what order I would put the pictures. I found adjusting the pictures timing along with my recording to be the most challenging. I could see myself doing this again for personal use because it is very easy and quick to do.

Citing Sources

I liked Son of Citation Machine more than EasyBib because there was more information already filled out then in EasyBib. It was harder to find and fill out information on EasyBib and Citation Machine was more organized and easier to fill out.

Timeline

Theodore Roosevelt Articles

1. In all three sources it talks about Roosevelt’s son Kermit and their father- son expedition across the River of Doubt. It talks about all the dangers they faced on the journey too. Also in all three articles it said Theodore suffered from depression and that he went down to visit his son Kermit to escape political problems.

2. In the first two articles it said that both Theodore and Kermit made the expedition but in the last article it says that Kermit ended up committing suicide. Also in the first two articles it talks about Theodore’s decision to leave the Republican Party and run for a third party caused many problems for him.

3. In the first article it talks about Theodore Roosevelt carried a lethal dose of morphine with him for many years and no other article said the same fact.  It also said that Theodore thought about taking his own life. It did not say this in any other article. I think it is true that he could have thought about taking his own life because of all the diseases and such he encountered on his journey. I could verify that validity by going on several more websites to confirm these facts.

Site Evaluations

http://www.prodeathpentaly.com/ , http://usliberals.about.com/od/deathpenalty/i/DeathPenalty.htm ,and http://www.amnesty.org/en/death-penalty were a reliable sites. The first and third website however were biased but it was stated in their article what they believed and their opinion and gave information to back up their opininons. The second website was not biased, it talked about both the pros and conc of the death pentaly. All these websites gave information on the author and proper credentials.
The last website the, http://kkk.org/ however was not as reliable because for one the home page only had pictures and no words on it so I went to a different part of the website and that was more helpful but still not reliable. The author was not stated and it was very biased. The first three websites were reliable but not the fourth.
