Let’s pretend you were assigned a research paper for your history class. While searching for resources on the Internet you find two websites about your topic. One website is a personal blog. The other website has .gov at the end of its web address. Which website would be better to use for your research paper? Explain why.

Gov Because that website is a legitimate website to use as a resource and it will most likely be giving you fax and not an opinion in the things on there most likely can be backed up.

.gov would be the better use for your research paper because the .gov is verified. The blog is just someone’s else personal experience, and you probably wouldn’t be able to relate to that from your own point of view. Rather than the .gov website is actually showing facts & other information to help on the paper instead of someone’s else experiences
