In addition to the Web resources included in the guide, students and their teachers might want to look further.

Media literacy note: As with all issues, especially ones charged with controversy, students must learn to be savvy and discriminating readers. No Web site can provide all the information a student needs to know, and teachers should encourage students to "interrogate" Web sites even as they are reading.

Guiding questions as they work through these activities should be: What did you learn from this source? What didn't you learn from this source? Who sponsors this source? What bias might the sponsor have?

Who Was Lee Harvey Oswald?
The companion Web site to the FRONTLINE film offers more on Oswald's life and activities, including a forum in which Don DeLillo, Edward Epstein and Gerald Posner discuss the "Myth, Meaning, and Mystery" surrounding Oswald. Also, a look at the major conspiracy theories surrounding JFK's assassination.

The Kennedy Assassination
This comprehensive Web site supports the theory that Oswald was a lone assassin. Filled with informative links, it will be useful for students who want to check on their notes from the film about main characters and issues.

JFK -- The Assassination Movie
This site systematically addresses both the distortions and the possible agenda behind them in Oliver Stone's film, JFK.
