Today is "library day." We will talk about how to find and evaluate sources. I'll show you the University library search engines and give you important criteria for determining whether a source is valid.
1. Discuss in groups:
-Where do you usually search for sources? Be specific.
-How do you decide whether a source is credible? In other words, what is a sign that a source is good or bad?
2. CRAAP ppt
3. Imagine you are writing a paper with a thesis that argues that babies should not be vaccinated. Evaluate these sources based on CRAAP guidelines to determine whether you would use any of them in your research paper. Be prepared to discuss your answers with your group and then with the whole class.
