Can Librarians Say Fart?

    Are you looking for a new way to teach your students how to evaluate a website?  Well, look no further!  I have created a lesson based on an article I read back in 2016 by Amy Gillespie in Knowledge Quest.  Her article is titled, "Web Evaluation: Does this Website Smell Funny to You?"  I caught the word "fart" in the article and my junior high brain lit up.  Yes, a lesson where I could use the word "fart" over and over; that is a lesson for me!

    I had heard about the CRAAP test and, well, the word "crap" just doesn't do it for me.  So imagine how intrigued I was to read about the FART method for evaluating websites.

    Ms. Gillespie's article can be found here: https://knowledgequest.aasl.org/web-evaluation-website-smell-funny/

    If you would like to take a look at the lesson I created about how to evaluate websites using the FART method, check it out here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13nO_crPd_wI4MptPADHPncoqxnh8QiyY1WIou13a7ZE/edit?usp=sharing
