Model in-class how to identify appropriate, authoritative, and seminal sources to introduce search and evaluation techniques.

Ask students to summarize and then critique sources to have students practice synthesizing, contextualizing, and communicating the ideas of source authors and the students own evaluation of these ideas.

Provide students techniques for evaluating sources to help them identify biased or non-authoritative sources.
