If you assume that this is true, why is it significant?
* I think it is significant because if we choose to copy or take words from someone else, they have right to get credit. It is their words so we should give them credits, otherwise, it is just stealing someone else's ideas.
* I did not think of plagiarism will affect our learning skills. Everytime I get words from someone, I thought it would make my paper look better but actually it does not help me improve my writing skills if i keep taking words from someone.

This article is called "Marijuana use among teens rises, national survey finds". I found this article in Los Angelas Times. I think this source is credible since it gives all percentages how use of marijuana among teenagers rises. It also gives exact amount of students they surveyed. The author also gives exact date of when they started research, in what year the rate of weed smokers is lowest or highest.
This article will helpful for me to write a research paper, because it provides credible information. This will help me to back up my ideas and lead me to research other aspect of marijuana such as why is the rate of marijuana increases, or what is the main fact that leads use of marijuana.
*What strikes you? What is confusing? What is surprising?
I did not realize the seriousness of using marijuana until I read this article. It surprises me that so many high school students smoke marijuana starting at 8th grade. By knowing all the side effects of weed, it is sad to know that there are many students smoking marijuana.
*If you assume that this is true, why is it significant?
Smoking marijuana is illegal in most of states in America, and there are reasons if it is illegal. Obviously it is not good for your body, and messes up your brain and thoughts. However, students choose to smoke marijuana, and the rate is keep increasing. This article is significant because that shows the seriousness of this problem and hopefully this rate data helps to find solutions.
*How does the information stand up to your own experiences and observations?
I have been in U.S over three years, and I can even see that students who smoke marijuana increased rapidly past couple years. When I came to America first, I did not know anybody who smokes, or heard people saying about marijuana. However, now, I have friends who smokes marijuana, seen people dealing, and saw students who got trouble because of it.
*What further questions does the information raise that might be worth investigating?
What is the purpose of smoking weed?
What made students smoke weed?

Roy,
ReplyDeleteYou did an excellent job responding to this source, especially as you compared it to your own experiences and as you thought of questions the information raised in your own mind. As you research, look for sources that may answer these questions. And as you think through these questions, figure out which one seems the most interesting to you. The most interesting question may become what you base your editorial proposal off of.
You need to do more work when it comes to your credibility analysis. Your evaluation of this source focuses mainly on the type of evidence provided, which is definitely an important component of credibility, but not the entire picture. Please use the entire CRAAP handout (available on Moodle) to evaluate your sources. Answer as many questions as you can from each of the five categories, making sure that you explain your observations. For example, if you decided this article's purpose was to inform it's audience about current marijuana use trends, you'd be right. But you'd want to explain to your audience how you came to that conclusion. So you could write that the newspaper article is summarizing facts and figures from a recently published national survey. The article does not make any interpretations or draw any conclusions about the survey results.
