Readability: What is the readability level of the web page according to MS Word?We have OpenOffice so I am not able to answer this question.

Educational Value: Why was this page put on the web? To inform? Persuade? Sell? Satire or parody? Deceive/misinform? Would you use this web page with K-12 stu-dents? Why or why not?This page could have been created just for fun and parody or maybe to confuse people and persuade them of something that it´s not reals. We would probably use it with K-12 students not because of the content but to make them understand that they can´t trust every website that they visit.

It´s an informative page. Pupils can also have the opportunity of buying a newspaper so they pretend to sell something with that advertisement. We wouldn´t use this site with K-12 furthermore we can also find the same page for teens (so for higher levels we would use that site).
