Sources

As you consider the topic of immigration, try to look at a variety of sources.  Listening to the BBC or another international news station for a week will give you another perspective entirely.  Also, as you think about sources, remember to evaluate the sources too.  There are several tutorials on how to assess a source and you will do this as you select your sources for your speeches.

Cornell offers a complete tutorial on the evaluation of information: http://guides.library.cornell.edu/evaluate_news .
