Answer 2

As a school teacher who has taught reading for 17 years, this is a really relevant question. With electronic media we are reading a vast amount of information over the internet. It is essential that we are able to discern fact from opinion or fiction masquerading as fact. The Wickepedia web site is an excellent example.

Good luck with your school essay. Birdie
