Sofia Gasperino- Evaluating Sources


1The author, Carol G. Nelson teaches English ad language arts at Garfield –Palouse High School in Palouse, Washington. She also serves on the North-west Inland Writing Project Advisory Board.
2The English Journal is a journal of ideas for English language arts teachers in junior and senior high schools and middle schools. It is published by the National Council of Teachers of English. It is a not-for-profit professional association of educators dedicated to improving the teaching and learning of English and the language arts at all levels of education. It was established in 1911. The site contains the email of the author. It covers entries from 2009. This entry was published in 2004.
3This journal was created to help other teachers enhance their own teaching careers and help them grow professionally. It also helps them deal with issues that affect the teaching of English. She uses evidence from the National Center for Education Statistics. The ending of the site is .edu. Her information is from 2003 so it is pretty current.

Stephanie Bell-Rose is the president of the Goldman Sachs Foundation.  She went to Harvard Law School.
She was interviewed by edutopia for an online article. Edutopia has a good reputation. Information about Stephanie is available. It was published on February 8th 2007. It says the actual article was written by Edutopia. No specific writer is mentioned.
The content is credible to be the words of Stephanie. The ending of the site is .org. It is pretty current since it is from 2007. It may be slightly biased because the interviewing questions are asking for her own personal opinion on the importance of things. However, the information she provides to back up her opinions are credible.
