Check out the seven suggested websites.

Pick one to explore.

Write a short review of the website from your perspective. (say 200-300 words)
Include information like:

What is the website intention?
What do they write about?
What can an average viewer get out of going to that website?
Will you add this website to your bookmarks?
Would you recommend the website?

Give it a rating on a scale of 1-5 (1 bad, 5 good) and tell me why you gave it that rating.
