Task 1 - Revising citing sources
Task 1 - Revising citing sources
You must cite the sources we accessed during research because ethical research acknowledges the work and thinking of the author.
any source accessed to find information about the topic must be cited in your bibliography
any information used word for word from the source must be placed in inverted commas and the source must be included in the citation list
As a general guide, use the following examples as a model.
Book – the author/s full name, the full title, the year of publication, the place of publication and the publisher.
An internet page – includes the author’s name (or if this is not provided the owner of the site company/government), the full title of the source, the URL and the date you accessed the material.

Task 2 - C.R.A.P source assessment
Task 2 - C.R.A.P source assessment
Complete the table, for the two sources you selected last lesson, in your student booklet in your English book.
If one of your sources is not suitable you will need to select a third source.
Follow the steps below and the example in the table to guide you.
Source - Correctly cite your source
Currency – is the source a recent one – is the information up to date?
Reliability – is the source a primary or secondary source? How do you know this is a good source of information?
Authority – does the source include quotes or information from experts or other credible people? Are these people referenced so you can validate the claims made or information provided?
Purpose – what is the purpose of the source? Is the information presented in a clear and balanced way or could the information be biased? How do you know?
Activity 2 – Generate, summarise, connect and elaborate
Activity 2 – Generate, summarise, connect and elaborate
This activity is appropriated from a Project Zero visible thinking routine. You will use the process ‘generate, summarise, connect and elaborate’ to organise your research. This will help ensure your information is ready for you to use when you begin writing about this topic.
Complete the following process for two valid and reliable sources you found during your research.
Source (include all the information that would be required for the bibliography):
Generate a list of quotes that support your thinking about the topic you have selected.
Identify at least 2 quotes which could be useful to you when you want to write about this topic.
The quotes do not need to be long. They should be concise and contain clear pieces of information.
When relevant, identify the page number the quote has come from and use inverted commas to indicate the start and end of the quote.
Summarise the information in the source.
Don’t forget, a summary is written in your own words and provides an overview of the main points in the text.
Elaborate on the connections made.
Identify who you might need to persuade that your topic matters.
