Does the source help answer the question you’re asking?
Does it have enough info on your topic to really be helpful?
You can figure out if your source is relevant by:
Looking in the index and/or table of contents to see if the topic is listed
Skimming the text
Using keywords related to your topic to search
DIRECTIONS:
For this activity, you will need to look at FIVE books with the idea of answering this question:
In what ways did the Ancient Egyptians develop and contribute to the field of medicine?
Group these books into three categories that would help to answer the question:
HIGHLY relevant books
MAYBE relevant books
NOT relevant books
Once you've looked at all five books and completed the handout for this station, click below to return to the Update homepage.
