- Label your assignment: Factoid Friday 2 - Short Title of the Article. Then put it in a folder labelled--> Factoid Fridays.
- Read and annotate your article by highlighting important information and annotating important sections. Short summaries of each paragraph can be particularly helpful.
- When you are done, write a TWO paragraph summary at the bottom. Clearly label each of these sections.
- Write a one paragraph description explaining WHY this source is credible. Think about what we talked about in class on Mon/Tues.
- Create a MLA citation for your article. You can use the "EasyBib" add-on or other citation resources to help you with the formatting.
- Factoid Fridays are usually due on Friday, but because of the short week, this one will be due on Monday. If you turn it in by Friday (9-11), you will earn 10% extra credit. Be sure to turn in BOTH the Factoid Friday article AND the CARS Credibility worksheet.
