tutorial class work

• This site suggests that haggis is an animal which lives in Scotland, rather similar to a platypus.
• Haggis is the name of a traditional Scottish dish.
• The facts about the haggis are ridiculous e.g haggis fur is water proof but not shower proof.
• There are various different cameras around the cities in Scotland; suggesting that you might see this made up animal.

• This site claims that there is a very small county within the USA called Molossia we know as a fact there are no county’s within USA.
• The information is written in humour rather than trying to sound real.
• Within all the pictures of the government employee’s i.e navy/army they are all the same two people.
• The size of the county is 2.5 hectares (6.3 acres), way to small to fit in all that is suggested in the site.
  

By just looking at the address name I can tell that this site will be about Martin Luther King. I believe this site was made by a reliable organisation. When I first opened this site my first impression was that it looked authentic. When skimming through some of the titles this site still looked to be authentic. After reading some of the articles like the rap lyrics it started to fade away to be fake.
