Evaluating the Web

I'm going to evaluate site "Which came first: the bunny or the egg?" using the guidelings set ou in the following tutorial by Ohio SU net.Tutor.

Site: "Which came first: the bunny of the egg?." Seatter, L., (2009) SuperLiving.com.au, (Online), Retrieved 30th May 2009 from
http://www.superliving.com.au/storyview.asp?storyid=1025737&sectionsource=Planning%20-%20Getting%20Ahead
Lorna Seatter writes a entertaining article about how the Easter Bunny and Easter Eggs came about being the symbol of easter. She discusses the views from different countries and religions using appropriate facts that she has researched. This article to inform the reader and Lorna does this using light humour, facts, other peoples points of view and historical events.
Also Lorna talks about how the egg was developed and how different courtries had their own style however eventually the egg became more standardised "The popular crocodile finish that we see on chocolate eggs today came from Germany, with the design originally used to disguise a chocolate egg's imperfections by breaking up the smooth surface." Lorna Seatter (2009). A very enjoyable article, with interesting facts, and easy to read.


Reflection:
If I was to come back to this article in the future, I feel that the original blurb would be more useful to myself. Its short and explains the article enough to remind me what it was about.
However if someone else was to come accross the article they would probably find my annotation more useful, as it states everything you need to know, and give you the details of the article, the author, the URL and a better overview for someone who hasn't read the article yet.
