Blog Phase 5
1. Write about the credibility of your source. Follow the same three steps used in phase
three to complete your credibility evaluation.
2. Write a response to the article selected using what we have learned in class about
responding to sources.
The article I found was called "State Department report ranks countries on human trafficking". By Jill Dougherty, CNN Foreign Affairs on June 27, 2011.
It is a credible course because it tells the date and place and the authors name.
This article talks about how the trafficking is continually growing throughout the years. It is saying the 27 million people are trafficked throughout the year and 100,000 of them are even in the United States. The States are still trying to find solutions to Trafficking and they have been working on it for decades.
This source is very helpful in ways such as explaining and laying out whats happening with sex trafficking in the United States. Also, it shows statistic to really prove that trafficking is really happening.

Taylor, I'm glad to see you've selected a topic and are working to find sources to help you understand the issue of human trafficking.
ReplyDeleteFor phase seven, I want to see you fully develop a credibility evaluation for your next source. Go back to the CRAAP handout and address each of the five categories using the provided, pertinent questions. One summary sentence -- like the one you wrote above "It is a credible course because it tells the date and place and the authors name" -- is not enough for an audience to understand the value of the source for your research. Many sources that lack credibility also state the date, place, and author's name. When you make observations, you need to validate that observation with examples, illustrations and explanations of ideas you see in the source itself.
When writing a response, aim for at least two paragraphs and use the questions from the Response handout given out in class last week.
