Name: _ Date: _Research Guide: Assessing SourcesEvaluating the credibility and validity of a resource can be very difficult, particularly when doingresearch using the Internet. Below are some basic guidelines to help you select reliable resources anduse those to learn accurate information about a given subject. Characteristics of Reliable Sources A. Authority: Who is sponsoring the information? The URL can provide information about the originof the resource. The following are examples of ways you can determine the type of organization thatis sponsoring the content for a specific websiteSites ending in…..edu -are usually educational institutions and generally a good source of information..gov -are government websites and usually good sources for statistical information.org -are typically non-profit organizations often set up as a public service. Be on the lookout forpolitical agendas and biases. Example: If you are looking for information about gun control, then you might check .gov sites forstatistics related to gun ownership, laws, etc. Sites affiliated with specific biases on gun ownershipwill probably be listed a .org sites (handguncontrol.org or nrahg.org).

B. Blogs- While interesting, these are usually not fact-based and as a general rule should not be used forconducting research.

C. Online magazines or journals- These articles often contain a detailed bibliography and site specific resources as evidence for claimsand statistics. D. Online news sources-Virtually every network and cable news station has an online site as do local affiliates. It is important to realize that while they do provide news, they are also involved in the entertainment industry andmay present some information that is opinion vs. fact-based. E. Television/Internet video news broadcasts- When viewing video, keep in mind that if it is not from a source that can be accurately documented with origin, date, and key information like who, what, when, where, why and how, then the source may not be credible. WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? 1. Accuracy: Sources for the factual content on the site are clear. There is someoneverifying the accuracy of the information being presented. Verify theauthor’s credentials. Example: Dr. Robert Green is sited as a physician who was in charge of a study thatproduced specific results or the Center for Disease control provided certainstatistical data. 2. Objectivity: The content is provided for public service or educational use. These sites usuallyprovide links to additional information and are free of advertising for productsrelated to the topic.3. Timeliness: The date of the information and/or the last update is clearly stated on the page.

Gathering Facts to Develop an Informed Opinion Directions: Utilize NOW resources (http://www.pbs.org/now) and other reliable sources (based onwhat you learned from the Research Guide: Assessing Sources handout) to form a fact-basedopinion about the topic of your choice. Work with your table to complete steps 1-2 below. Step 1: My topic/country is: This can be your presentation topic, OR a new one, use other group pages to help and finding new resources should be limited as we have gathered a great amount as a class. Step 2: Complete the questions below as you take notes from a variety (at least 6) resources that represent more than one point of view about your topic. Utilize additional note taking sheets if needed. Example: Source # 1: A. Name of Resource B. Internet Address C. Facts Learned Source # 2: A. Name of Resource B. Internet Address C. Facts Learned Step 3: Based on the facts you learned about the topic, write a sentence that accurately reflects **__your__**opinion about the topic.- Working with table, but writing and thinking individually, each students will create own opinion and others at table will not judge that opinion. Step 4: List/describe the emotions and personal experiences that contributed to the formation of**__your__** opinion. Step 5: List two of the strongest arguments that opponents will have aboutyour opinion and provide fact-based proof to refute these arguments.Example: Argument # 1 Against My Opinion: Fact-based Proof to Refute Arguments (note the source as well) Argument # 2 Against My Opinion: Fact-based Proof to Refute Arguments (note the source as well).

STOP HERE- END of Activity/Lab- Please Post **__your__** FILE to the Google Group-OLMGreen at this time.

TEST: Take Action Project:For the projects in the list below choose __**3**__ to draw attention to your issue and illustrate your opinion about it. Include sourced facts (see your earlier research for project and lab from last two days) in your project.

• Create a flyer designed to increase awareness of your opinion and encourage people to take what you believe is appropriate action related to this issue.

• Write a letter to the editor expressing your point of view and refuting possible arguments against your opinion using the facts you’ve learned from your research.

• Create a public awareness campaign that supports your opinion by designing a billboard, bumper sticker, commercial that uses facts to support your opinion. Remember, less is more in this medium,so don’t be too wordy. Be clever and fact-based.

- Create a Google Group OLMGreen Page- Designed to rally people together and give them a place to think/discuss/ create content online. -Do not have to actually create a website, but plan what will be there and explain how it will support and gather people to your issue.

• Other: Develop your own project idea and get teacher approval before beginning.

TWO OF THE THREE ARE DUE TODAY, the third is due SUNDAY12/6 by 11:59PM To "hand-in" projects you will use your choice of: 1. OLMGreen group-posting files or creating pages. 2. Google Docs and give me the website for your project(s) 3. email me- bdesain@mercyhs.com
