ENGL 102 (Gilbert)

What we'll cover in your class session:

• Discuss HCC Library resources
• Go over things to consider when evaluating a source 
• Have workshop time to find information

For each annotation, you are required to complete the following:

1. a citation for the source (create the citation using either MLA or APA documentation style; you get to choose which style to work with)
2. a summary that includes the thesis and the main points offered in the source
3. a critique of the author's credentials (example: what degrees, expertise, experience do they have? why do we trust them?)
4. a short discussion on the perspective offered—author objectivity/bias, the audience being addressed
5. an explanation of the source’s credibility (example: is the publication reputable? does the source references other good sources?)—and whether the source would be considered credible for the academic paper, the multimodal project, or both
6. a statement about the value of the source to your project
