Discussion Guide: Information Literacy Lab

In-Class Activity

You will be divided into groups and assigned a number that corresponds to a topic.

Based on your group's assigned topic, evaluate the corresponding resources linked in the "Group Resources" box below for use in a research paper.

You will have 15 minutes to evaluate all your group's sources.

Please select one person to write down your group's answers and have them ready to present to the rest of the class. You are encouraged to use the Internet to check facts, verify, learn more, etc., but you will not be able to evaluate all the resources in 10 minutes' time, so don't worry. Do the best you can, this isn't a trap.
