Verifying a Website

I can tell that the Aluminum Foil Deflector website has true information because the person that made the website put who made it, when the website was created,when it was last updated. In the Google Gulp Drink website it does not contain any other information that would prove that it is correct there for it is not right.
For number 3 I would chose the 2nd website because it's not biased and it contains the most information about the city. It also has when and where the website was made and it also has a place where you can contact the people or call if you have any questions.

Citing Sources

In class we used Easy Bib, Citation Machine, and CiteMe and in my opinion I think that Citation Machine was the easiest to use. I think it was the easiest because it wasn't complicated and had very little buttons to choose from so it was easy to figure out.

Theodore Roosevelt Timeline

Theodore Roosevelt and the River of Doubt summary

Theodore Roosevelt was born on October 27, 1858 in New York City. He was the 26th president of the United States for the Republican Party and he was in office for president September 4, 1901- March 4, 1909. Theodore had carried morphine with him for many years and took it to many places like the American West, African Savanna, and the River of Doubt.
After Theodore Roosevelt lost in the election against Woodrow Wilson in December 1913 he had gone to go see his son Kermit at 55 years old. He set sail for South America to explore and map Brazil’s map of the River of Doubt. Right from the beginning the trip began to go wrong and Theodore was suffering from malaria. Malaria is a blood disease transmitted by the bite of a mosquito. He had developed a deadly bacterial infection from cutting his leg on a boulder. Since the rain forest was burning hot the cut on his leg got really infected and sent his temperature scorching high at a temperature of 105°F. During this expedition colonel Cândido Rondon had announced that now every man was for himself so they could abandon their canoes and go into the jungle and Theodore knew that this now would be impossible for him.
Now you have read about Theodore Roosevelt and his background about himself and his sail to South America for the River of Doubt.
