An interactive source-evaluation checklist. Work through each letter, answering each question, then draft your evaluation of your source using these responses as your pre-writing notes.
Name the source you're evaluating and paste its formal citation.
Identify what the source is saying and why it exists.
Summarize the source in no more than 150 words. The counter below keeps track.
Write a 300–400 word evaluation of the source, using your RATE IT! answers above to write your evaluation of your source.
