Fill Out The Form And Write Half A Page As Needed, Then Write A Half Page Reflection According To The Question, Be Sure To Understand The Requirements Of The HW

A good tool to use when evaluating sources with the CRAAP test is a score sheet that helps you go through each point of the test methodically. You give sources a score that helps you determine if the sources are usable for your assignment.

This scenario will give you a chance to practice using the CRAAP test score sheet to evaluate two sources.

Scenario:

You are writing an informative essay on the history of gun control in the United States for an English class. You have found the following two sources and need to evaluate them and decide if you will use them:

• GunControl.docxActions 
• About the NRA (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.: one page of the National Rifle Association web site: https://home.nra.org/about-the-nra/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

To complete this assignment:

• First, take a careful look at the sources above.
• Next, download and review the CRAAP Test score sheet.docx.Actions
• Now rank each of the two sources listed above by filling out the score sheet for each.
• Submit a text response with the following information:

1. List both sources and tell your total CRAAP score for each source.
2. Write a paragraph or two telling which source is better for this assignment. Explain why. In your answer, refer to at least two elements of your CRAAP score sheet as examples.

Reflect on how you choose your sources in everyday contexts. How might you use these techniques when selecting sources for academic work? Use these prompts for discussion:

• How did using the CRAAP Test to evaluate a source work for you? Are there limitations to this method? 
• How do you test information sources in your daily life? Are there criteria that you use when posting articles or information on social media? 
• When there are two articles with differing opinions and facts, how do you decide which one you'll share with friends on Facebook?
• Has your thinking changed as a result of this module? Why or why not?
