Howdy Class!
Today we will focus on the research skill of evaluating sources. In other words, you will practice the skill of judging whether an online source is trustworthy or not.
To accomplish this, you will complete the following steps:
1) Visit http://americanrevolutionblog.blogspot.com/ and read through the site for 5 minutes
2) Visit http://www.theamericanrevolution.org/default.aspx and read through the site for 5 minutes
3) Visit https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/588/02/ and read the website's advice on deciding whether a source is credible
4) Respond to the following prompt on a piece of scratch paper: "Explain which of the first two websites you read through is a better source for an essay on the American Revolution. Use the information you learned on the Online Writing Lab website to support your explanation."
5) When finished, spent the rest of class working on teenbiz
