Every essay needs sources, but students often are unsure of where to go online to find reliable and relevant sources for their subject material. In this course, students will receive a video lesson that explains the pros and cons of different groups of websites (from personal blogs to government-sponsored sites). I will post examples of an incorrect or out of date reference from this target group. I will then ask the students to find a reputable source to replace my outdated or biased reference. Students will evaluate a different aspect, from author qualifications to the source's current relevance, credibility, correctness, and bias. At the end of the lesson, the students will have a review quiz/trivia game to evaluate their understanding of the week's topic. Weekly breakdown: Students will receive a video lesson that explains the pros and cons of using different groups of websites (like personal blogs, non-profit websites, educational institutions and government-sponsored websites). I will post an example of an incorrect or out of date reference from this target group. I will then ask the students to find a reputable source to replace my outdated or biased reference. Each day, students will evaluate a different aspect, from author qualifications to the source's current relevance, credibility, correctness, and bias. I post a link to an optional Kahoot! review quiz that asks trivia questions about the week's lessons. Students can use this extra practice to evaluate their understanding of the weekly and daily topics. Students will take the Kahoot quiz at any time.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Maestría en Música o Teatro o Artes desde Spalding University
I have a Master's degree in Creative Writing which required my own 30 page extended critical essay. During the past two years, I have tutored many high school and college students about the importance of correct sources, quotes, references and citations. I currently teach English Composition at a local nursing college. Unfortunately, when students do finally choose quotes or data for their essays, they often do it incorrectly because they are confused and overwhelmed by all of their options. My goal is to inform and empower students as much as possible using the information I have gathered and learned over my own teaching career.
