Assignment:

1. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate two sources, which means to explain why they are strong, credible sources to use for your research paper. You should ask yourself this question: would I use these resources in a research paper. Why or why not?

2. Use the topic that you have chosen to research. Your topic should focus on a particular “problem” that you have identified in our society/community. For example, Take one article that you found in the library, and then find another source by doing a Google search. You can use any website or online source for the second article. The point of the exercise will be to find out which source is more trustworthy than the other source.

3. Compare and contrast these two sources. To do this, you will write a paragraph about each of them. For each paragraph, you will explain the source’s argument, the strengths and weaknesses of the argument, and what research and sources the article used. You can write a short (2-3 sentences) summary of the helpful information the argument provides.
