EN105 First-Year Writing - All Sections

When determining if a source of information is appropriate to use, consider why you need the information. Then evaluate the purpose, audience, and characteristics of the source. Use it only if it matches your information need.

Let's practice!

Instructions

Working together in groups, find 4 sources (1 for each group member). Of the 4 one should be:

• a research study from a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal
• a scholarly book
• a website
• a newspaper article

Within your group, determine who will search for each type of source. Make sure the sources you pick are related to our topic, and make sure they are reliable and credible sources. 

1. Each group member will add their source to the Padlet in your group's column by clicking the + sign. Add a hyperlink to the source, and identify what type of source it is.
2. Add a comment to your post. In the comment explain what information the source provides about the topic.

Be prepared to share your findings.
