| Summarize the article — include your reaction, thoughts, anything to help you remember its claims. 100 to 150 words | I
This article was one I enjoyed reading because it discussed a topic I was interested in knowing more about, which is argumentative writing and all its properties. It discusses credibility and how important this is in terms of a paper. It also talks about biases and how one can assess this. This can be hard when emotions and feelings are involved, but it is still necessary. As it continues, it addresses how one can find good sources and questions you can ask to determine their credibility. It ends with the note of talking about how this is not a process someone can do on their own and how you will need help, but that is okay. |
