CRAAP Testing Google

 

 

 

You hand in your Problem/ Solution papers, with all drafts and comment sheets BY YOU.

 

 

Thinkwrite: What do YOU think? Do you agree with the assessment of Wikipedia above?  When is it okay to use Wikipedia?

Now, you're going to apply the CRAAP test to a Google search.  Use Google to search some terms that relate to your Problem/Solution paper that you handed in today.

You are going to take a screen shot...I show you the way I know to do this. If you can take a screen shot of the first page of your Google search and print it, do so.

Now, number the results on the page. In your daybook under today's title, write down your research question, and then those numbers. Next to each number write the letters CRAAP vertically. You'll need to rate each item pass or fail with a short explanation.

There will be some time tomorrow to work on this in class as well.

Homework:

1. You are working on writing the paper due THIS FRIDAY.

2. TWFTD: bias in the OED.

Finding Information

Tomorrow your Problem/ Solution paper is due. Is it ready to hand in then? How does it look in TurnItIn? Open it on your screen. Get out the grading rubic for this paper, and make sure you are meeting the assignment.

Do you have a Gale article picked out, printed, and ready to write about? That paper will be due on Friday. If you do, get out the article so I can come around and look at it. If you don't, open Gale in another tab on your computer screen.

Homework:

1. Have the final version of your Problem/ Solution paper ready to hand in.

2. Read and annotate your Gale article.

3. No TWFTD.

The CRAAP Test

You are going to be looking for information to add to your Problem/ Solution paper.

The information will need to come from sources that pass the CRAAP test.
