1. On a controversial issue, find and print two articles—one on each side of the issue.

Possible Strategy: Go to Yahoo! (www.yahoo.com) and click on "News and Media" and select a subcategory. Choose a topic that interests you and examine the news articles.

2. Consult a search engine for documents that contain both of these keywords: credibility and speaker. Browse through several documents and write down a sentence that states at least one thing that can help or hurt credibility.

Possible Strategy: Go to a search engine such as Google (www.google.com) or AltaVista (www.altavista.com) and type your query (+credibility +speaker) in the search box.
