Finding and Evaluating Sources Further (STAR)

Choosing Sources Based on Your Poem, Your Argumentative Claims, and the Prompt:
  • Decide on what kind of evidence you need to find besides the poem itself to support why the poem has gone viral. 
    • What is your argument?
    • What kinds of "field of study" do your arguments rely? What kind of expert/professional help might give authority to your arguments?
  • Find two sources that you believe could be used to support why the poem has gone viral. 
    • For each of your two sources:  
      • Answer each question in the STAR criteria (92). 
      • Also, review "Rhetorical Strategies for Framing Evidence" and "Special Strategies for Framing Statistical Evidence" (99-101) and: 
    • List three different strategies that you feel you should apply to your sources.
      • Explain why you think it is important to do so, and
      • Provide an example of how a writer may do so, using evidence from the source.
