Grammar 20 16 14 English Question
I’m working on a english writing question and need a sample draft to help me learn.
I already wrote the short essay but not 500 words. So I’ll upload what I wrote to give you background about this assignment. Also, it’s a very simple assignment you can finish it in about one hour or less.
Also, please make sure you follow all the instructions I wrote to you because this assignment is very important and worth a lot of points. If you have any questions about the instructions please feel free to ask me.
Phase 5 – Evaluating Credibility of Sources
(TRAPP test evaluation rubric and answer sheet for questions asked in the assignment)
1. Referring to the research question you selected in Phase 4, identify a WRITTEN online source (e.g. a news or magazine article, a web page—anything except an article published in a research journal). The source should be sufficiently long that you will be able to write 500 words on the topic. Read the grading rubric below before starting the assignment.
2. Provide the URL to your source.This should be a DIRECT URL – that is, if I click it,
I should be taken directly to the page containing the document itself.Any URL which does not conform
to this requirement will not only result in your being downgraded for that part, if I cannot find the article VERY easily, I won’t have the ability to score much of this part of your portfolio and your grade will reflect this.
3. The TRAPP test includes 5 criteria upon which to evaluate a source. Think about the answers to the questions and then rank your source on each of the 5 criteria from 1 to 10 (1 = unreliable, 10 = excellent). Enter the score in the textbox below.
|
Dimension |
Score |
|
Timeliness: the timeliness of the information
|
|
|
Relevance: the importance of the information for your needs
|
|
|
Authority: the source of the information
|
|
|
Accuracy: the reliability, truthfulness, and correctness of the content. |
|
|
Purpose: the reason the information exists |
Add up the scores to give you an idea of whether you should you use the resource (and whether your professor would want you to!).
45 – 50 Excellent
40 – 44 Good
35 – 39 Average
30 – 34 Borderline Acceptable
Below 30 – Unacceptable
5. Identify which of the 5 criteria your source scored the highest on and explain why.
6. Identify the criteria your source scored lowest on and justify why the source is still a creditable one for learning about your research topic.
7. (Read this next paragraph VERY carefully):Summarize the information in your source that contributes to your increased understanding of the research question you chose.This should be at least 500 words and WILL BE SUBMITTED USING THE TOOL IN the Portfolio module (It’s called “Phase 5 Essay Submission” or something similar. You will NOT submit anything to that link other than your essay.The “questions” part of PHASE 5 (everything I have conveniently changed to a deep blue color above this paragraph) you will save and submit to the link entitled “Phase 5 WORKSHEET”.If you get this wrong, there is a very real chance that your submission will not be scored at all and will become a zero on the due date.I cannot emphasize this enough.You will answer the questions in the blue section of this document (as appropriate, respond below each question.Don’t worry about formatting too much–as long as it’s not a total mess, I should be able to parse it.If I can’t, you’ll know…) and submit it to the “worksheet” link, then take your 500-word essay as a separate document and submit it to the “essay” link.Failure to follow these directions will be penalized separately from the rubric (below).
GRADING RUBRIC (this is what I’ll use to grade your Phase 5 submissions)
