Hi everyone, I am getting some great suggestions for evaluating websites,
but I am actually looking for information on evaluating books.

Hi everyone,
I am working on a project wherein I'll be teaching students--grades 11 and
12--how to closely evaluate sources. I'm trying to model it on my reference
class assignments in grad school, but I can't seem to remember anything. I
need to teach the students what all of these terms mean as well as how to
evaluate for them. Any resources you have would be SO helpful. Thanks! The
parameters are:

scope
accuracy
timeliness
accuracy
arrangement

This is being spread out over four days, and then I'm sending them on a
scavenger hunt to find the best resources for a few different scenarios.

Thank you,
Sarah Ludwig
