How does the information in this source specifically relate to your topic?
Critical thinking bibliography Assignment
This week’s readings focus on finding credible evidence to support arguments you will make in your argumentation papers. Evidence is used to provide the “backing” for arguments, one of the six essential components of the Toulmin model of argumentation. Evidence is how assertions and opinions are verified as accurate, plausible, or worthy of consideration. Credible evidence is how you establish trust with your audience. However finding credible evidence remains a difficult task, especially in the contemporary age of information.
In this prompt you will demonstrate your understanding of credibility by practicing your annotated bibliography skills. For this discussion I want you to share one of the sources you are using for your annotated bibliography. See Annotated Bibliography Guidelines for more details on this assignment. It can be any source of information related to your topic. Post the reference information for the source and then answer the following questions:
1. What makes this source of information credible?
2. How does the information in this source specifically relate to your topic?
3. How could this information be used to support your arguments?
Be sure to respond to at least one other post from classmates in the discussion.

After going over the Argumentation Paper Guidelinesyou will compile an individual bibliography of sources to be used as potential backing to your arguments made on that topic.
Under each citation in the bibliography should be a comprehensive paragraph (otherwise known as an annotation) that identifies the following things.
Why is this source of information credible?
How does the information in this source specifically relate to your topic?
How could this information be used to support your claims?
Bibliography Requirements:
Bibliography should contain at least 5 sources.
Paper should be in proper MLA format.
Uploaded to Canvas by the start of class on the due date.
Helpful Tips:
Annotations should be clear and concise. You do not need to make a comprehensive argument using each source. Just provide information on how the source might be useful. 2-3 sentences is fine.
You are not required to use this information in your papers, but it is recommended you do so.
Consider including sources that can be used to support BOTH sides of a argument. Being able to address counterarguments is a key factor to success in any critical thinking situation.
This is not an essay, you should not submit a paper arguing for or against the topic for this assignment. Just provide a bibliography of the list of sources with brief explanations under each source.
