Finding Information

Thinkwrite: How do you decide to trust someone?

How do you choose a source of information?

Let's think about the C.R.A.A.P. test for souces for your paper. Take notes.

Currency? Relevance? Authority? Accuracy? Purpose?

Pay attention to these factors as you look at sources.

Using Google, find a search term that gives you 4 interesting sources on the first page (that relate to your paper) .  Do the following for each site:
  1. Provide name of the site.
  2. Describe the site, who created it, how it looks, how big it is, etc.
  3. Explain how it either meets or fails the CRAAP test, using specific criteria (C/R/A/A/P).

Hand in your daybooks tomorrow.

Homework:

1. Your short essay - typed - about a cliché is due tomorrow.

2. TWFTD: reliable in OED.
