Find, print, read, and annotate a Wikipedia article, a blog post, a poem, or a current news item that is related to your research question. Annotate every paragraph or so with questions, opinions, reactions.

You can do this on paper, or you can copy the article, post, poem or news item into a Google Document, or use Crocodoc. After annotating use one of the Non-Fiction Text Response guides to write a response to your article in a Google Document. Don't post it on Youth Voices yet. You'll want to add quotations and responses from the next two Tasks first.

Choose one of the following for this Task:

Wikipedia: A good starting point For good reasons, a lot of people question the credibility (Can't anybody write something there?) and the reliability (How do we know anything there is true or balanced?) of Wikipedia. Yet it is sometimes a good place to start a research project, to find out what people are saying about a particular topic, and to find other sources. Further, if we support or question any claim from a Wikipedia article with other sources, we are learning good lessons in checking our facts from any one source against other sources.

When you have finished your annotations and your response to a text, click the Post Comment button here (on P2PU), and add links to your Google Document(s) or to your Crocodoc Doc with our annotations and to your written response in Docs. You can find the link to your Google Document under the Share button. Do this before you click Yes, I'm done .
