Judge the Relevance and Worth of ideas of a text
Relevance is how appropriate something is to what is being said at a given time. Truth is something that has been proven by facts or sincerity.
Tips on How to evaluate the Factual or Truthful Information Sources 1. Currency is important because information can quickly become out of date. Questions to Ask? a. When was the source published? b. Do you need ‘up-to-date’ information? c. Does your topic require recent sources?
Example: a . If you are writing about iPads or heart surgery techniques, you are going to need a new, up-to-date information. b. If you are writing about Ferdinand Magellan it might be okay to have information that is older.
2. Accuracy is the extent to which information contains factual and updated details that can be verified by consulting alternative and/or primary sources. Questions to Ask? 1. Is there any support? 2. Is the information supported by evidence or outside sources?
Example: If you come across an information source that does not cite where the author got the facts, be skeptical.
3. Authority is important in judging the credibility of the author’s assertions. Questions to Ask? a. Who authored/created the information b. What are the author credentials? Is he/she qualified to write on this topic?
Example: In a trial regarding DNA evidence, a jury gives far more authority to what a genetics specialist has to say compared to someone off the street.
4. Relevance is the information’s level of importance to a particular viewing purpose. Questions to Ask? 1. Does your source really relate to your topic and help you support your argument? 2. Is the information at the appropriate level?
Example: Don’t use author’s biography from an online bookstore for your English paper.
5. Purpose is important because books, articles and Web pages exist to educate, entertain, or sell product or point of view. Questions to Ask? 1 . Why was your source written? 2. What is the purpose of the source
Example: Environmental Issues - Who says? How would information published by Oil Companies differ from statments by environmental advocacy group like Environmental Protection Agency?
Group activity (4 groups) Create an interpretation to the school magazine article by supplying the necessary information in the table. Source Details Author Supporting sources Date
