1. What level of Bloom's does this site/source address?
2. In what way will/would this information speak to your academic audience?
3. How does each source fare in the BIG 4 CHECKLIST of SOURCE EVALUATION?
4. What are the differences that you see between the sources/sites?

1. Aphorisms Wikipedia 

Aphorisms Literary Devices

3. Alchemist Sparknotes

4. Aphorisms and Cliches Essay

After your discussion, you will need to scan through source 4... "Aphorisms and Cliches". It is a 20 page essay.  I am NOT asking you to read every word. I want you to practice scanning an article and pulling out the most pertinent information, quickly. To do this... look to the topic sentences of major sections. Look to concluding paragraphs in each sections. They will act to introduce the issue and then summarize the information.  (THIS IS A KEY BIT OF INSTRUCTION for your future research endeavors.

Aphorism project progress:
You will need to finish question 7 all the way through the "summation of the article".  This is due on your block day (Wednesday/Thursday).
