- Your essay should show a deep awareness, based on your having read, watched, and listened to all the sources in this unit.
- See this list of unit sources with sources you can actively include in your paper marked with a star: Required Reading, Watching, Listening for Essay 3
- You can always include more than the minimum required sources in your essay, but to “actively” use a source, you need to introduce it, quote or paraphrase it and include it on your Works Cited. Some unit source quoting is required for all your essays.
- Define important terms often used vaguely or incorrectly such as “fake news,” “the media,” “misinformation” and “disinformation”
- Include (synthesize together) four sources, two of which must be texts from this unit, one of which can be a text, podcast or video from this unit, and the fourth can be from this unit or something you found in your own research. The advantage of finding a unique source is that you can provide unique examples of fake news, etc.
- Actively use at least three sources from this unit, two of which must be texts, in your paper. This means you will quote and paraphrase from these sources in proper MLA style, and include them on your required Works Cited.
- Actively use at least one other source, which can be from your own research or from this unit.
- On its own page at the end of your paper, create an MLA formatted Works Cited, which includes all four sources you actively used in your paper.
Note: The usual requirement is that you include everything you read that affected your thinking on this, so I am letting you off the hook here a little, just so that you don’t spend too much time on the Works Cited.
these are my 3 sources to use
