Describe the document/artifact in terms of content, without being interpretive. # What do you think you know about this document based on reading it and any previous knowledge? # What do you think the document reveals about its era/ What kinds of information can be learned from the document? (There might be more than one kind of information). # What don't you know about the document? What questions would you ask about it? # If you were going to do further research on this document on the World Wide Web or in the library, how would you go about it? # What knowledge or skills are you bringing to this course from other learning experiences you've had that help you make sense of these documents?"

Diversity of content is one of the great things about YouTube. But we know that some of you want a more controlled experience. That's why we're announcing Safety Mode, an opt-in setting that helps screen out potentially objectionable content that you may prefer not to see or don't want others in your family to stumble across while enjoying YouTube. An example of this type of content might be a newsworthy video that contains graphic violence such as a political protest or war coverage. While no filter is 100% perfect, Safety Mode is another step in our ongoing desire to give you greater control over the content you see on the site. It's easy to opt in to Safety Mode: Just click on the link at the bottom of any video page. You can even lock your choice on that browser with your YouTube password. To learn more, check out the video below. And remember, ALL content must still comply with our Community Guidelines. Safety Mode isn't fool proof, but it provides a greater degree of control over your YouTube experience. Safety Mode is rolling out to all users through out the day, watch for the new link at the bottom of any YouTube page.
