FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV). |
The article shows the benefits and the risk of using the social media. Some negative effects are “young adults who have a strong Facebook presence show more signs of other psychological disorders, including antisocial behaviors, mania and aggressive tendencies”. |
Some other negative effects are when they suggest that “Studies found that middle school, high school and college students who checked Facebook at least once during a 15-minute study period got lower grades”. |
Although these are big negative effects it also showed some positive effects like “Social networking can provide tools for teaching in compelling ways that engage young students”. |
This article also states that learning how to work with a computer in Facebook may give you the ability to do the same thing in a smart phone and a tablet. |
This article also tells that social networking can also provide tools for teaching in compelling ways that engage young students. |
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.
PsychCenter shows the bad things the social media may do to a young adult and teens. Although the bad things seem to be on tact, the “good things” Facebook may help you with where bad and seemed unrealiable.
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.

The author named Rick Nauert seemed like he did his research and his article seems reliable.
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 think the site is reliable because it a psychology site which shows the problems with the teens today.
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.

It think the site and the author showed this article just because it was informative.
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.

EX: There is a slight bias in the fact that only the negative effects of Twilight are mentioned, not the positive.
I couldn’t tell whether it had bias or not but I suspect it was slight bias because it showed weak sources with the positive things.
References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility?
EX: The author uses Cambridge professors in his/her argument, making it stronger, as they are professors of literature.

EX: The author uses Cambridge professors in his/her argument, making it stronger, as they are professors of literature.
The author does shows some sources from research other people have done. This increases the credibility.
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 the negative effects to support how it effects teens and young adults but I don’t think I will show the positive effect because it seems like a weak source to use.
