From Kathy Schrock’s Guide for Educators, this is her page on Critical Evaluation Information.

Also note the many other evaluation resources she provides further down on the page (articles, lessons, forms), and don't miss the list of hilarious sites at the bottom that can be used by teachers to teach students to recognize false information.
