Web Source Assessment

This is an in-class journal activity.  If you're absent today, you'll need to do the following on your own:



  1. Grab an iPad from the cart OR use your personal device if you have one/prefer it.
  2. Open your textbook to p. 415--it lays out in detail all of the items of consideration for electronic sources.  (You used it first semester to complete the web assessment activity so it probably looks familiar.)
  3. By this point, your first draft is submitted so you should have all of your secondary research completed.  Take this time in class today to pull up each of your web sources and complete this source evaluation in your journal for each source in your essay.
  4. Title each evaluation with the name of the source--something that will identify it--title of article, name of author, or name of website.  Then answer the questions from p. 415.  End each evaluation with a concluding comment from you regarding whether this seems like a credible source that will offer you good ethos.  If not, take some time between now and your D2 to find a better, more credible source to use in your argument.
