For today you’ll –

a) Conduct research to find three sound sources related to the group you’ve selected –

For example, those with disabilities, veterans, migrants, women, men, LGBTQ+ individuals, those who espouse gun control or freedom or who share particular views of the environment, Democrats, Republicans, millennials, Muslims, those who wear a hijab, or those with drug addictions, cognitive difference, mental illness or those who are homeless.

The sources should shed light on –

– A single story or narrative about the group you’ve chosen.

– What you and your readers need to know to have a more accurate understanding about this group.

b) Use the CRAAP Test to choose your sources and to evaluate them. (#action=share

c) Summarize each source using –

– the summary techniques we’ve learned

– accurate MLA formatting and in-text citation

– proper embedding of quotations, paraphrases, and summary information (uploaded pictures )

d) Comment on each source by responding to the following questions:

1. 1. 1. 1. What group are you focused on and what is a common single story or narrative about this group?
         2. How does this source relate to the group you’re focused on?
            • What does it tell us about the single story or narrative related to the group you’ve chosen?
            • How does it help us have a more (or less) accurate understanding of this group?
         3. How did you determine if this source is sound?
            • What did you look for to determine its credibility? (Refer to elements of the CRAAP Test in your response.)
