The challenge is to each find 3 facts, quotes or definitions about 1 key term (this term will be given to you)
Rules: You must:
• Use three different sources: eg: a Book, E-Book, Journal, Website...
• One source must be a Worcester University Library resource: book or e-book.
• Gather all information about how and where you found the quote.
• Use Harvard Referencing to include: author, date of publication, publisher, page number, website url…
• Check it is a ‘reliable source’, do you know who wrote it and where and when they wrote it? Is it a primary or secondary source? Is it a trusted website? (Wkipedia is authored by anyone, so, although it is helpful to gain an insight into a definition, it is not a reliable source you can quote).
In class: 6th February 2012
• In class you will have 30 minutes to find 1 fact/quote/definition and bring it back to the class.
• You will present this to the class, including where you found it from.
