Directions
In this journal assignment, you will start by reiterating your topic and research question and identifying your audience. Then, you will share two sources from your independent research and examine them for bias.
Specifically, you must address the following:
- List credible and relevant sources you found in the Shapiro Library during your independent research.
- Include two sources that you find from your independent research.
- Include the link to both sources. Alternatively, you can practice using attribution conventions to cite sources by writing a citation for each source using APA or MLA conventions. While you will not be graded on the accuracy of this citation, this is a great opportunity to practice citing sources using the citation format you chose to use in this course. Remember, you will need to use the format you chose in Module One for the duration of the course, including all assignments and the project.
- Evaluate your sources.
- Describe how each source supports your topic and how it can help answer your research question.
- Discuss why you trust the credibility of your sources and/or what questions or doubts you have about the information presented in your sources.
- Discuss how you think your audience will view the credibility of your sources for your argument.
- Explain the bias found in each source.
- Explain how the bias or lack of bias in each source impacts your argument.
- Explain how you think your audience will respond to the bias or lack of bias in each source.
What to Submit
