Print, read and annotate your article. Use Google to verify?
Annotation: 1. Chunk the text. 2. Circle key words -- especially if they are repeated. 3. Underline and define any terms you are uncertain of meaning. 4. Left margin: short summary of each chunk. 5. Right margin: use an -ing verb to describe what the writer is doing in each chunk. (Explaining? Describing? Defining? Comparing? Contrasting? Ranting? )
Begin filling out the CRAAP test worksheet on it, as well. Comment on as many of the questions as possible.
Homework:
1. Continue annotating and evaluating your article.
2. TWFTD: your choice from your article.

The CRAAP Test
Turn in your papers.
Thinkwrite: Can you think of an example of false information you have seen on the internet? Where was it and what was it about?
One example of how news on the internet works: http://www.snopes.com/politics/conspiracy/russiansecurity.asp
How do we determine useful sources and information? Use The CRAAP Test. The CRAAP Test Prezi. Please take notes in your daybook.
You have the rest of class to look for an article on the Gale database site that pertains to your Problem/Solution paper, and that you could use in the revised version of that paper.
When you find an article that you like, print it out, read it, and annotate your copy of it. (Define words, make notes, ask questions, chart the sections, etc.)
Homework:
1. Find an article for Solo #3. You'll need to have a printed article for class tomorrow (Thursday).
2. TWFTD: criteria in OED
