HELP ME PLEASE ANSWER WORTH 10 POINTS When making a science presentation, look for credible sources. Some websites present information as evidence that has not been scientifically proven. You must be able to identify reliable sites so the data in your presentation is credible.

Sources that end in .edu (school and college websites) and .gov (government websites) are great resources to use. However, sometimes students, not scientists, write content for .edu websites. Because the content might not be checked by scientists, read any .edu website carefully to find out whether it is reliable. Some .org and .com sites are also credible, but you have to read the content carefully to determine how legitimate it is. When you review a source, ask yourself these questions:

Who authored the article?
Is the author a scientific expert in climate change?
What is the purpose of the article?
Does the article state facts that can be proven by evidence, or is it made up of opinions?
When was the article written?
Do other credible sources support the statements in this article?
Which scientific studies support the information in the article?
Now find two to three credible websites that you can use to find information for your presentation. Write them down. They can be e-books, magazines, websites, and so on. Also, write down one to two sentences for each source explaining how the source will help you. You will find some websites in the Resource section of this activity. Show how you will cite the sources in a works cited page at the end of your presentation using MLA (Modern Language Association) citation methods.

Explanation:

what: when quoting a source, use the author’s words verbatim, or word-for-word. this means you shouldn’t change any grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. put quotations around the words to tell your reader where the quote begins and where it ends.

you also need to acknowledge the author. for example, if using mla format for your research paper, you should have in-text citations with the author’s name and page number listed at the end of each quote.

when: use quotations to provide concrete examples to support your claims. using direct quotations is a great way to build your credibility on the subject. it’s also a good idea to quote your source when the author states things in a powerful way. if you think he or she said it best, then use the exact words to share the ideas.

example: in the short story “a jury of her peers”, mrs. hale compares mrs. wright to her caged bird, saying “she—come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself. real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and—fluttery. how—she—did—change” (glaspell).

paraphrasing

what: paraphrasing differs from quoting because you restate the passage in your own words. since you don’t use the author’s words, you don’t need to use quotation marks. however, you still need to acknowledge the author for his or her ideas.

when paraphrasing a text, you should communicate the full meaning of the text; don’t change the meaning. it can be a condensed version of the text, or it could end up being longer than the source it’s paraphrasing.

when: you use paraphrasing when you take notes, or explain a chart or diagram to someone. paraphrasing highlight the important parts of a larger text. it also allows you to simplify the ideas for your readers.

example:

original: “it was no ordinary thing that called her away–it was probably further from ordinary than anything that had ever happened in dickson county. but what her eye took in was that her kitchen was in no shape for leaving: her bread all ready for mixing, half the flour sifted and half unsifted” (glaspell).

paraphrase: as mrs. hales walks around mrs. wright’s home, she notices that the kitchen is in disarray as if she was in the middle of baking bread (glaspell).
