How to …Smarter Tip #3Evaluate Your SourcesWhen you find a site, ask yourself:-WHO made it?-WHY?-WHEN?
![Page 19: Welcome to your Library!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681517f550346895dbfb8dd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Your turn!
Remember:•WHO made it? (Authority)•WHY? (Bias)•WHEN? (Currency)
•Don’t Forget First impressions: What you can tell just from a URL!

Once You Find a Source…1. Read it!Scan the article to make sure it’s usefulRead the article carefullyHighlight or take notes on useful facts2. Use it!As you’re writing your paper, use those facts
as backup, like proof in courtLike a lawyer, you have to make your own
argument!Cite your sources…don’t plagiarize!
![Page 22: Welcome to your Library!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681517f550346895dbfb8dd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Don’t PLAGIARIZE!Did you know that if you CUT AND PASTE
from a websiteOR even if you just borrow an IDEA and put it
in your own words…And you don’t cite it…
It’s cheating? Yikes!
![Page 23: Welcome to your Library!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681517f550346895dbfb8dd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Instead of Plagiarizing, there are 2 choices…
1. Paraphrase! That means put the information
completely in your own words, with a citation.
Or…2. Use direct quotations!
That means you use the authors words, with “quotation marks around them” and a citation.
![Page 24: Welcome to your Library!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681517f550346895dbfb8dd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Parenthetical CitationsThe BIG rules:1.Everything you cite in your paper MUST be in
your Works Cited page, and everything in your Works Cited page MUST have a parenthetical citation in your paper!
2.The parenthetical citation should match with the first thing in the Works Cited entry. For example…
![Page 25: Welcome to your Library!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681517f550346895dbfb8dd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Burrowing owls are an endangered species because of their habitat. “Burrowing owls live in underground dens that are easily threatened by construction projects and other human activity” (Miller 55). Even if construction crews don’t hurt owls, construction can still harm the species because they become too afraid to lay eggs. Burrowing owl populations have gone down by 45% in the last ten years (“Threatened Bird Statistics”). Construction companies need to look for burrowing owls before they start working on a new project.
Parenthetical citations: The author and page numberOR the page title right after the fact or quote. Give paragraph numbers if the source does.
![Page 26: Welcome to your Library!](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681517f550346895dbfb8dd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Annotated BibliographyA bibliography is a list of all the sources you used to find information.
An annotated bibliography has a paragraph under each source describing what it is and what you used from it.

Special Rules for This Project…• For the Change Project, the paragraph
has to contain a FACT or QUOTATION from your source, with a CITATION.
• It should go like this:-Describe the source-Share a Useful Fact from the source-With a Parenthetical Citation!-Give an Explanation of why the fact is
relevant to your topic

Example:This book tells people how to compost for their garden. Composting is important because we don’t have enough space for all our trash. “Roughly one-third of all waste dumped in landfills across the United States consists of garden clippings and kitchen waste” (Bell 11). This shows that a lot of our trash space is taken up by things like plants and food that could be composted instead.
