Evaluating Sources

We cannot just take information we find at face value.  We must examine it to ascertain its validity, accuracy, timeliness, and usefulness before using it in our papers.  We will use the SIFT/PICK method to go through an example of how to do this in a web article.  This process can be done for any mode of information, not just web or newspaper articles.

Evaluate using the SIFT and PICK Method the source that corresponds to your group number in this Google Slides document.

• Access the Source

• Use the questions to help guide you

• Share your thoughts and findings about the source

• Pick one person from your group to be a spokesperson.
