Can you determine if this is a reliable source? How/Why?

Any other insights?

Underline and label main ideas or thesis

Put a star ★ next to support (evidence/citations/examples) for the main idea or thesis

Identify and label uses of ethos (credibility/character), pathos (emotion), and logos (logic)

Identify and label ideas/concepts/parts you agree with: put a plus sign + in the margins and explain why you agree

Identify and label ideas/concepts/parts you disagree with: put a minus sign - in the margins and explain why you disagree

Write questions you have or connections to other texts/events/concepts in the margins

3. Post Reading Activity: Summarizing and Responding
