Unit 6 discussion
Throughout the research process, you will be finding sources
to support your argument for your Argumentative Writing Assignment. Reviewing
these sources for bias and credibility is very important.
So, how do you find a reliable, academic, and scholarly
source? Please review this short explanation of scholarly sources:
Finding Scholarly Sources (pp. 33-34)
For your initial post, find one source that would support
your position for the topic you have selected to write about for the
Argumentative Writing Assignment. The source should be scholarly and academic
in nature. Write a one paragraph summary of the source, and include an in-text
citation, and reference. Refer back to the Citing Sources pdf resource in Unit
3 for information on summarizing. You might also want to review the information
on credible sources in the Critiquing a Source pdf in Unit 4 and the Researching
chapter listed in Unit 5.
For your two responses, read through your peers’ initial
posts and answer the following:
What is the main idea in the source?
Is the source credible? Why or why not?
Is the source biased? Why or why not?
