View markup for Final Research Paper Draft.pdf
Hi, Rosalyn.
Thank you for submitting your rough draft. As we now begin to
prepare for the final draft that will be due in Week 5, everyone
should be focused on identifying the weaknesses or areas
needing improvement. My feedback is designed with goal in
mind. I do understand, though, that it is sometimes challenging
to receive this type of critique. Know that even students earning
100% of the points will receive this type of feedback. We are
unable to make improvements until we are aware that they are
needed. Please carefully review the comments that I have
inserted into your Waypoint document.
Tips for Improving Focus
Right now, some of your claims are off-topic. Make sure that
you are addressing the focus as it is defined in the research
question. This is why your work continues to be "below
expectations." Your essay explains how fake news is spread and
it describes the ways in which it effects society. It does not
explain a) why people find it difficult to identify, and b) how
we might limit its influence, potential solutions. These topics
do not appear to the focus of most body paragraphs.
Research Question: Why is "fake news" so hard to identify and
what can be done to limit its influence in society?
Essays responding to this prompt should focus on two issues: 1)
identify specific reasons why "fake news" is difficult to
identify, and 2) identify potential solutions that would work to
limit its influence.
Fake news is difficult to identify because . . . [Identify 3-4
reasons]
The influence of fake news may be limited by . . .[Identify at
least 1 potential solution]
Each paragraph in your essay should focus on these two issues.
"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss
5. of enthusiasm." - Winston Churchill
"Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goals: my
strength lies solely in my tenacity." - Louis Pasteur, French
Chemist and Microbiologist
"The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude
about the problem." - Fictional Character Captain Jack Sparrow
Revision is an essential part of being an effective writer, being
WILLING to write multiple drafts. Take Mr. Churchill's advice
and don't lose your ENTHUSIASM as you become aware of
your mistakes. This is an ESSENTIAL part of the learning
process. See the "problem" as an opportunity, like our friend
Mr. Sparrow. And, like Louis Pasteur, be tenacious!

Hi, Rosalyn. I have completed my review of your Week 2:
Outline. Please study the comments that I have inserted into
your assignment; with these I share helpful resources and
highlight portions of the document that demonstrate its
strengths and weaknesses. I have also highlighted areas of
concern in my comments below.
Tips for Success: Preparing for the Week 3 Rough Draft
Focus - The focus of the outline is at times off-topic. Make sure
that your rough draft addresses the purpose named in the
research question.
Structure - Make sure to see my comments relating to your
thesis statement. Also, make sure to use the assignment
template and to review the model assignment. These documents
7. will help you to better understand the requirements.
Development - Be aware of the word count requirement. Your
submission with approximately 160 words falls short of the 500
word requirement. Make sure to include evidence from an
outside source to support each claim.
Plagiarism - Make sure to follow the guidelines for including
in-text citation. There are areas in your outline where you are
technically plagiarizing because these important elements are
missing.
Reference Page Citation - Review the guidelines for reference
page citation. The citations are missing required elements and
format errors are present.
Again, the comments that I have inserted into your assignment
will help you to better understand these closing comments.
When I review your Week 3: Rough Draft, I will be looking
closely to see that your work responds to your Week 2 feedback.
If you have any questions, please message. I am eager to help!

Fake News Annotated Bibliography Rosalyn Albright ENG 122
COMP 11 Nicole Elliot Week Two Assignment Two October 29,
2017
Fake News 2 of 3 Fakes News Fake News I. Introduction A.
Fake News should be researched to make sure it is legitimate
because false information is damaging academically and is
substandard to our society.
II. Body Paragraph: Fake News and Social Media A. For most
people it is difficult to identify Fake News because they spend
less timeconsuming news and are less interested in current
events and lesser education.
III. Confusion about Fake News
A. Young people need to be educated to distinguish credible
news information. Young people don't have the ability to
explain the information they consume. Separation of our
personal beliefs and bogus news we read may be good for our
society.
IV. Fake News in the 2016
A."Social Media such as Facebook have a different anatomy
than regular news sources because there is no third part
9. filtering, fact-checking, or editorial judgment." Facebook is
more of a gossip news source that is misleading as to following
the 2016 election, a specific concern of false stories circulated
on Social Media.

Hi, Rosalyn. I have completed my review of your annotated
bibliography.
My Observations
+ (plus) = Good or Mostly Correct / - (minus) = Improvement
Needed
+ The assignment takes the form of an APA formatted annotated
bibliography, and it matches the example presented in the Week
1 Instructions.
- The work is on-topic. The writer's analysis aligns well with
the research question.
- A thesis statement is included that announces the purpose of
the essay and previews the main ideas that will be explored in
the body of the essay.
- Annotations include two paragraphs communicating a brief
reflection, an assessment, and a detailed plan for the source (a
10. description describing how the source supports the argument).
- 5 high quality (peer reviewed and written within the last 5-7
years) sources were selected.
-/+ The APA guidelines were applied to the title page and
document. These rules are found in the Writing Center. Go to
"Writing Center," and next click the tab that says "APA
Guides." Explore the links featured under "Formatting."
- The APA guidelines for reference page citation were applied
correctly. For further instruction, review the "Citation Models"
in the AU Writing Center. Student - "Why don't you just tell
me exactly what is wrong?" I am helping you to locate these
instructional resources. Bookmark them in your browser. This
process is mastered by consulting instruction and examples as
you create each citation. It is like reading a recipe as you cook a
dish.
- Make sure to proofread your work carefully for word choice
problems and grammatical errors. Use Grammarly.
The annotated bibliography lists the sources that you will
consult as you work on the research paper project. The list may
change after you begin researching. You may decide to add
sources, and you may decide to omit sources that do not meet
your needs. Each time that you make a claim or describe your
reasoning, you should include expert testimony borrowed from
an outside source to demonstrate that these well-respected
thinkers and writers share your opinion. This is how you will
persuade the audience.
If you have ANY questions about my feedback, please do not
hesitate to message. I am eager to help!

Spratt, Hannah E.: Agosto, Denise E. In: Young Adult Literacy
Services. Summer2017, Vol. 15 issue4, p17, 5p.
The author states due to information access by easy way of
engineering at home, school and public library, the job of
educating people of all ages how to judge quality and
authenticity. Recent outpouring of the people engaging in social
media has led to thoroughly examined sources and Fake News
on the internet. Fake News is a serious matter that affects teens
at both the individual level, and the boarder society/level,
impacting social, political, economic, and other local national
12. and international developments. Internet has become more
luring and accessible information resource. Internet users are
vulnerable to being caught in a vicious cycle of fake news. The
majority of the United States teens rely on social media for the
latest news and events. Librarians should encourage teens to get
outside their limit news bubbles. Fake news creators can be very
professional in writing stories that plays with your personal
emotions and beliefs. All this is that access to internet means
nothing if you are unable to distinguish between facts and
conspiracy theory.
Running Head: Fake News 3 of 4
Fake News: Annotated Bibliography Crocco, Margret;
Halvorsen, Annelise; Jacobsen, Rebecca; Aven. In: Phi Delta
Kappan. April 2017, Vol. 98 Issue 7, 67 The author states that
we process information in ways that increase reality in our
beliefs values and ideas. Our filters play a bid role in evidence.
Most people get news from social media like Facebook and
twitter. Our like and dislikes are customized by newsfeeds. Ten
years ago, people watched only three Tv channels and read the
regional and national newspaper. Studies show about 8,000
students, from middle school to college age, and their ability to
distinguish between real news written by journalist and
advertisements sponsored by other groups to mimic real news.
The author states there are seven types of evidence that
Scholars typically invoked during public policy discussions. 1.
Expert judgement: The knowledge provided by someone with
education background, work experience and credentials. 2.
Personal experience: Firsthand knowledge obtained from direct
observation. 3. Anecdote/secondhand experience: Retelling the
view of someone else. 4. Example: Illustrating a point. 5.
Law/policy: Rules and regulations. 6. Statistical data:
Measurable information presented in numerical format. 7.
Research: Findings conducted by a trained researcher.
Individuals reasons from evidence to claims to arguments is
often influenced by rational and emotional factors, elements of
one's destiny, and values and belief system.

Bibliography Phi Delta Kappen. Feb 2017, Vol. 98 Issue 5,6
The article states students can't distinguish trustworthiness of
online sources according to findings from an 18- month study.
Young people ability to reason about the information on the
internet is a lack of vegetation and exposed to the elements.
There all kinds of bogus news stories out, so it is very
important to hold an article up against your personal guilt to
find out whether what you are reading is true or not true.
