Pros

• Included screenshots clarify each step to prevent confusion
• Clearly demonstrates how to create and share a document while tying this information into a class assignment; pupils should be able to work mostly independently
• Since the document is online, any individual who gets stuck attempting this process for a second or third time can refer back to the resource
• A rubric is provided at the end of the document

Cons

• The document is ten pages long, so rather than printing a packet for every pupil, you might have individuals access the document online and record their responses on a separate sheet of paper
• While you cannot click on the news site links, the URLs are simple enough to type into the search bar without issue
