Persuasive Essay: Research

Where can you look to find reliable information about your topics?

■http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine

■https://www.theguardian.com/uk/commentisfree

■YouTube: TED talks

■Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.co.uk/

 

DO NOT look at

–Debate.org

–Debating matters

–Wikipedia

■Avoid googling things like “arguments for such and such” as this will bring up poor quality articles.

■BE SPECIFIC in your Google searches. Putting your whole question in rather than “for and against” will bring up more interesting and better quality articles.

 

Bibliography

■You will need to record:

–The exact web address

–The name of the author (if you can find it)

–The title of the article

–The date of publication

■If you listen to any talks on the topics, record where the talk appeared and the name of the speaker.
