USE THESE SOURCES PLEASE
A minimum of two sources for evidence from the following [from different locations below; this way you get to practice using varying sources]. Three sources maximum, again, each location can be used one time, only:
Location 1: The article, “The Controversial Use of Rap Lyrics as Evidence” by Briana Younger (see above for the link to the article).
OR
Location 2: An article from EBSCOHost or Proquest Newspapers, or Gale Opposing Viewpoints in Context Databases. Click here to access these databases: https://hartnell.libguides.com/research.Links to an external site. Make sure there is a pdf or HTML copy of the article. Download the article so you can find it later! Make sure the article is published within the last 10 years and has a listed author. The evidence should meet the Standards of Critical Thinking: a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal or periodical, such as a magazine or newspaper. Do not use book reviews, editorials, or commentaries, or anything from a wire service, which includes University Wire. Make sure the source is at least 750 words in length. [Do not use Google or any other search engine; use the databases that your tuition pays for!]
