(Seek academic, research-based sources)

 Use the information in these sources to help you on the next step

STEP FOUR: Assessment/Reflection

 Think about the arguments made in the podcast and the related research you did, and assess the podcast’s overall accuracy.

o In general, do you agree with the podcast argument? Why/why not?

o Does the podcast offer detailed and relevant evidence to support its arguments?

o Does the podcast use refer to or interview expert research or researchers? Are they and the podcast’s sources credible?

Introduction: hook, background information (broad topic, specific podcast in 2-3 sentences), outline of your arguments (thesis: your overall position or opinion of the podcast, your assessment points)

Summary: summarize the podcast’s arguments and some of its evidence; include some of its content but focus on summarizing its overall arguments

Assessment: what are your reasons or arguments for your overall position about the podcast? Write about one paragraph for each of your supporting reasons or arguments. Talk about your supporting reasons or arguments. In each, offer evidence to support your judgement: this will be a mix of examples from the podcast and research from your outside sources.
