[Assignment] Study and critique an article [Learning Objective] Learning objectives: Writing skills, Research skills, Media literacy [Description] 
Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of Wikipedia and similar resources is key for understanding when it is appropriate to use Wikipedia, and when other kinds of sources are required. Students will read Wikipedia with a more critical eye once they've picked apart a few bad articles. For an added dimension, students can analyze the history of an article, the talk page discussions associated with it, and the people who contributed to it. Putting critiques and suggestions for improvement on the article's talk page is a great indirect way of helping to make Wikipedia better, and provides a meaningful audience for the students.
