Jeanie is writing an argumentative paper against the implementation of a school uniform policy for students at her school. She is in the research step of the research process and gathering information. For her resources,
she is allowed to use two websites. The second site that she clicks on is about uniform debate, and it contains a
poll. Her first impression of the site is that it does not look very professional. There are misspellings and
grammatical mistakes. The author of the site (though she cannot find the author's name anywhere) is very
opinionated and gives outlandish reasons why uniforms should not be utilized.
Describe what Jeanie is experiencing in her research.

Sample Response:

Explanation:

Responses may vary. A sample response follows. Jeanie is experiencing a source that is not credible because of the author's bias against uniforms.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
