Chosen Resource:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\n
You will search either the Georgian College Library or your local public library for a book that is related to the themes\/topics of the assigned readings. This can be either a \u2018hard copy\u2019 book or an \u2018ebook\u2019 but it must be a non-fiction book with chapters.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n
As you search for a resource to use, keep the aspects of the CRAAP Test in mind. You do not need to choose an academic level resource, but you need to consider the currency, relevance, authority, accuracy and purpose of the resource.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n
Once you have found your chosen resource, scan the chapters to find one that seems most relevant and interesting to you, and review this one chapter. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n
Use the strategies you have learned in class to understand the content of the chapter.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Read once to understand the gist.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n\t
Analyze the chapter. Although you will not be required to annotate the book chapter, you should go through the same steps and make notes for yourself.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
