Back to Basics

When starting off on a project there's one very important thing; research! When researching you have to make sure you're getting reliable, accurate information. For our project, we will be using the CRAAP test. This makes sure our project is reliable and informing people about the correct things. The CRAAP test will check the currency, relevancy, authority, accuracy, and purpose to ensure our sources are the best for our project. 


My first source is from SlumberWise which is an independent website about sleep and other things related to sleeping. This is a secondary source because they are pulling information together from other sources to create the article. The article is about siestas and the history of them. It is a vanity publication on a website on the topic. It was written by the authors of SlumberWise and are qualified to write about this topic because their site is about sleeping and other information related to it. It also has links that lead to their sources of information. The information could be slightly biased since their website is mainly about sleep. Overall, I think it's a decent resource. It is reliable but not to the most reliable as some other sources.

My second source is from BBC which is a British news company that reports about news and other information from all around the world. This is a secondary source because they are getting information from other places to create their article. The article is about the health benefits that studies have found from siestas. It pulls information from scholarly sources and studies that have been conducted. It is a news source and was written by a reporter who did extensive research to find the information. The information is not biased because it finds facts from studies and talks about the findings of these studies. Overall, I think it's a very good source because it comes from a reliable, well known website that has a reputation of being a trustworthy news outlet.
