After completing the reading from the Penguin Handbook, use one of the "Writing Smart" checklists for evaluating sources. Use either the checklist for websites (found on page 198) or the checklist for evaluating print sources (found on page 205).
Choose one of your sources that you found either during the library research day or outside of class time. Provide a citation in MLA format. Then go through the checklist that applies to your source (web or print) and then write a 1-2 sentence summary of your evaluation of the source. You are welcome to go through each item (Source, Author, etc.) in bullet points, but make sure to give your 1-2 sentence summary evaluation in complete sentences.
Types of comments that will be useful: Based off of the notes you've read on the source, do you agree with the overall evaluation? Is there something your peer has missed about the source that would be important to consider? What might this source be useful for, and what might it be less useful for?
