Information Literacy Toolkit

The Information Literacy Toolkit is a collection of resources that faculty and instructors can use to help plan or implement assignments in classes. These resources can help you scaffold research skills into your classes.

Assignment Description

This exercise, created by Dr. Susan Schorn, Writing Flag Coordinator for the University of Texas, teaches students why they should cite sources and how evidence strengthens their arguments.  This is usually assigned as a group exercise in class but could also be assigned as a take-home exercise.

Instructors are encouraged to use it as is or swap out the example passages for passages related to their course content.
