Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):
EX: POV brings together information from a Cambridge conference in which professors of literature examine Twilight's effect on teenagers. Many of the sources cited talk about the negative affect on women that the books have had. The writer then turns around and asks the reader to take a poll, which is noted as not being scientific, to see what the general populance thinks on this issue.
The article shows the dangers of using a social network like Facebook but it also says that this can also bring friendships faster and may help a teens self esteem.
Credibility of Source:
Author or Site: Who is the author? What training have they had? If there is no author, examine the site. What is the purpose of the site? Who funds the site?
EX for Author: POV is simply a penname for an anonymous author. It stands for Point of View, and the majority of the articles written on the news cite are simply there to ask the opinion of the reader, and rehash someone else's research.

I think the author is credible because it was publish by the New York Times and the author points were good and understandable.
EX for Site: CBC News is one of the main news associations in Canada, and the purpose seems to be to bring the news to the people. The articles are meant to inspire discussion, not so much force an opinion.

I completely trust this site because it’s a nation wide known publisher and most of their work has been good.
Attachment: Does the author or site have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative? For example, is it a cigarette business posting an article about the benefit of cigarettes, or is it a scientific community unaffiliated with the cigarette business?
EX: Other than keeping a job with the Canadian News, it seems the variety of articles displays a lack of attachment.

The author has nothing to gain from this except maybe getting paid. I think he did this for the nation to be informed.
Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing?
EX: There is a slight bias in the fact that only the negative effects of Twilight are mentioned, not the positive.

I think there is some bias just like everything. There will always be bias but I think it’s a good article.
References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility?
References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility?
The author does cite some of his references but I don’t think it was very useful because there is no way any one can find the sources he listed. I think it does take away credibility.
EX: The author uses Cambridge professors in his/her argument, making it stronger, as they are professors of literature.
Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project?
EX: I plan to use this source to support my opinion that Twilight has a negative effect on teenagers, and also use it as a jumping off point for other sources, as it has a link to an MSNBC article about this issue.

I will use most of this article because it was very informative on how it effects teens social statues. It also talks about cyber bullying and how it effects teens.
