In Class Activity:

In a Google doc evaluate one of your sources for assignment 4 and create an annotation for it. Share with me the MLA citation for your source, and the annotation. You may do this as a group or individual. You can use this opportunity to do many different sources and give your group a boost on its work for assignment 4, or just do one source if you aren't far enough in your research to do more. 

Remember to Consider:

—Credentials of the publisher

—Gate keeping processes involved in publishing

—Credentials of the author

—Date of publication

—Stance of the source. What is the author’s purpose and how may it affect the conveyance of information?

—Cross Reference the source- How do the people who cite this source use the source?
