Thinking About Sources

First, some thinking time. Like Sherlock Holmes thinking.  The kind of thing the internet makes you do all the time.

Pick one of the following graphics of information to study closely:

Peoplemovin.

Wind map: http://hint.fm/wind/

The  world's LAND MAMMALS by weight.

Wealth and health of nations over time. Click play arrow and it moves....

In your daybook, describe which site you're looking at. How trustworthy do you think the information is that is presented? What can you figure out about the source of the data and its presentation. Explain.

Now you have time for working on your Problem/ Solution paper with Sources. Keep the Search Log in your daybook when you are looking for sources.

Homework:

1. The only Draft is due tomorrow, Thursday Mar. 13. [Except for Diesel Farm.]Have both in-text citations and a Works Cited page so readers can help you get it right.

2. The draft will be uploaded to Turnitin. We are looking for a match of MORE than zero but less than 15% (ish).
