Scholarly Article Activity
Go to the Google Drive folder and create a copy of the "Article Ranking Worksheet" for your group to use. In the folder, there are four articles for you to rank in order from most scholarly (#1) to least scholarly (#4). Use the criteria on the Popular Vs. Scholarly Sources LibGuide and from our discussion to guide you.
Some questions to consider when ranking the articles:
-Who wrote the article? What are their credentials? (Google is your friend here!)
-Where is the article published? What type of audience is it geared towards?
-How long is the article? What kind of citations are there?
