Do Now 9-29

An editorial is a newspaper article written by a writer that gives an opinion on a specific issue.

Some of my teachers have told me that Wikipedia is a good way to get information. Others have told me that it is not reliable. They have told me that you can't trust it because anybody can go on the website and change the information. Many of my teachers don't let me use Wikipedia as a source. When I ask why, they say they want all the information in papers to be reliable and they don't think that the information on Wikipedia is that. After reading the editorial, my thoughts on Wikipedia have changed. I used to agree with teachers somewhat because anyone could change the information. Now, I trust it more and believe it's reliable.
