Annotating a Source
Target: to find a good source of information on your area of investigation (one that helps you answer your question) that you can practice READING CLOSELY in order to come to a claim.
Begin today by finding a good source using the Napa Country Databases or the google search engine that will help you answer your inquiry question. If you found one yesterday that you emailed to yourself from the databases, you may use that one!

Got Credibility?
Today you and your group should narrow your search to one area of investigation and one question.
I would like you to try using the Napa County databases to see if you can find sources about your topic that you can trust. Follow this link to the Napa Library websites: http://goo.gl/RzEYrL. You will need to open your GMAIL to access the ECARD you will create when you first get to this site. This ecard is free and will allow you to access the valuable resources on the databases.
Continue to fill out your potential sources handout, looking for a minumum of two sources each.
When you are done, fill out this "Got Credibility?" form to ensure that you have found a source you can use to annotate tomorrow and Friday: http://goo.gl/hwglaV
If you have time, copy and paste the source you have found into a copy of this document for you to annotate tomorrow.
Thank you, Maya Angelou. April 4, 1928- May 28, 2014
