When we were all in grade school, we were taught about the first Thanksgiving.  Some of you were in plays depicting the event which revealed the pilgrim's attire, their customs, who was at the dinner, why they did it in the first place, and what activities took place.  In this exercise, you will follow these steps:

1. Start by listing 5 commonly accepted facts about the first Thanksgiving. 
    
2. Then, you will research these "facts" by finding websites that support or discredit the items you listed. 
    
3. As you research, write down each website URL (www.whatever.com/somepage.html) that you use to study the issue.
    
4. Under each website address, summarize why you think that page is a credible source by applying the CARS method we learned about yesterday.
    
5. You should use at least two sources for each of the 5 facts.  Do not use the same source for more than 2 facts.
    
6. Once you have done the research, write a summary explaining what you have learned.  Were the initial facts correct?  Was it easy to find good sources?  Did the CARS method of evaluating web resources help?
