2. Do you trust the source? Why or why not?
3. How can you verify the information? Is it accurate?
4. Who is the intended audience of the source?
5. What is the point of view or perspective presented in this source?
PART 2:
Write a brief reflection.( WELL CONSTRUCTED PARAGRAPH OF 150 to 250 WORDS) Be sure to:
• Identify the legal change that occurred and its significance.
• Connect the issue to law, society or your own experiences.
• Create 2 "good" questions. (think: What do you still need to know in order to draw a conclusion?)
• Determine whether the changes that occurred are positive or negative. Explain your reasoning (e.g., Voting rights for women were a positive legal step as it gave women democratic rights. Democracy is based on the principle of equality. Both democracy and equality are key ideas in our justice system).
