Legitimate sources include; scientific journals, academic sites usually ending in .edu, government sites like USGS or usually ending in .gov, news sources such as the BBC, etc. You should be able to discern good information, but if you are in doubt about using something feel free to ask. DO NOT copy information or cut and paste, avoid quoting and anything referenced should be cited in your ‘Works Cited’ section, even pictures. Be concise and make sure you hit all the key aspects above. I have supplied the grading rubric I will be using to grade them below.
Make sure you use a word processing program such as MS Word so you can spell/grammar check your papers before submitting them.
*Be very careful not to plagiarize, and cite all resources referenced under a Works Cited section at the end.
