While students today have access to more sources of information
than ever before, they are not necessarily equipped to make
informed judgments about those sources. Teaching students to
evaluate sources has become even more challenging in the last year
as issues regarding fake news and "alternative facts" have become a
heated matter in conversations taking place in the public sphere.
The book will present students with a set of tools that they can
use to evaluate any source that they encounter. In addition to
learning how to use sources in their writing, students who read
Who's Your Source? will become more savvy consumers of the sources
they encounter in their daily lives. Key Features Uses a simple
three-part strategy to evaluate sources: rhetorical appeals,
rhetorical situation, and reality check Grounded in rhetorical
theory-encourages students to evaluate the soundness of arguments
as well as the reliability of sources Incorporates real examples
from the authors' experience as instructors-and as scholars
