Submission Required
Students use a credibility routine to compare a CHIRLA story excerpt, a legal FAQ, a community center resource sheet, and a social media post about immigrant services. The teacher models how to identify origin, audience, purpose, and limits, and students annotate a source matrix with evidence about trustworthiness and usefulness. Pairs then decide which source types should guide future interviews and which need corroboration.
