FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):
EX: After having known Edward for just a few short months, Bella admits that “it would cause [her] physical pain to be separated from him now" (Meyer 283).

Pregnancy was not shown on television since "thirty five years ago, such bold expressions of sexual material were not permitted."

According to influences "teens today spend less time with their mothers and fathers and more with their friends and their entertainment."

Teenage mothers tend to "drop out of schools hold them in low-paying jobs, and low-paying jobs keep them in poverty."

The cost is expensive not only for the adolescents but "much of the financial cost is often paid not by teenagers, but by people they do not even know."

Adolescents fathers tend to "poor, fail to achieve in school, and have low goals for themselves."



Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):

EX: Twilight follows the life of Bella Swan, outcast and wallflower, as she moves from her home in Arizona to Forks. Here she meets, falls in love with, and risks her life for a vampire named Edward. Throughout the story, Edward places her life in danger, and she continually latches onto him. It ends with Edward almost killing her in an attempt to save her life from the danger of another vampire.

Pregnancy was not shown on television. Throughout time it did take a while for people to get use to the fact about situations that people were not open about that were shown on television. Later on situations such as pregnancy started to be shown on television which made people realize reality.

Credibility of Source:
Author or Editor: Who is the author? What training have they had? If there is no author, examine the editor.

EX for Author: This is the first book that Stephanie Meyer has written, and according to many interviews given, she claims it is a reflection of her own life growing up, and of "vivid dreams" she has.

Ann Byers has been a write for twenty five years, she has taught all ages.


Attachment: Does the author or editor have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative?


EX: The book was written for entertainment value, and meant to garner a profit.

The book was written informative since it did talk explain different options and situations for pregnancy.

Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing?

EX: The author is clearly biased toward Bella's love of Edward, as she wrote the book.

The author is not bias since she wrote the book as informative which brings out both positive and negative situations

References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility?

EX: There are no references, as this is a work of fiction.


There are some references of televison show which brings more credibility and makes the topics understanding.


Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project? EX: I plan to use this source as a primary reference, and apply psychology to different quotes within the text, bringing out the ridiculousness of Bella's attachment to a vampire.

I plan to use this source as a reference to describe the situations to put into teenage preganancy and how the television Teen Mom does show these facts.
