The document provides instructions for an in-class Kahoot quiz on the reading "Hope in the Dark" and paper 4. Students are told to get into teams to participate in the Kahoot game for participation points. The document also discusses participation grades and scoring to date. Finally, it instructs students to find at least three credible sources in the library databases to use for paper 4 and post their works cited list by noon for extra participation points. Homework is to consider a counterargument and alternative solution for their paper.

4. Library Research Task
 For Paper 4, you need THREE
credible sources.
 Your sources can be books, articles
from scholarly journals, credible
websites, or articles from popular
magazines or newspapers, such as
Time, National Geographic, or the
LA Times.
 I suggest you use the De Anza
Library website (and their
databases) to find these.
 If you use other methods and end
up using a sketchy source, I will
penalize you for it in your paper
grade.
 Don’t leave today until you’ve
found at least three useful sources.
 You might want sources to:
 Help you define your problem or
establish its seriousness: statistics,
examples, testimony.
 Describe the causes or consequences
of your problem.
 Provide a model for your solution.
Has this been tried before? How did it
go?
 Provide alternative solutions.
 When you’ve found your three
sources, arrange them into an
accurately formatted Works Cited
(alphabetical please!) and post them
as P4 WORKS CITED on Canvas.
 If you post before noon, you will
receive up to 15 participation
points.
