FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV). |
The site states that although a teen has a child doesn't mean that they have no options, in fact some teens have "higher rates of success as an adult because of the struggles they faced during their teen years"(POV). |
One misconseption with teen parents is that there is no help or couseling for them however," there are options available for teen parenting assistance including parenting classes that teens can take while pregnant or after they have the baby(POV). |
The article says teens that "have a strong family background and support, being a teen parent is not as difficult as those teens that don’t have that family support" but you should still "Explore what options you have before you make any final decisions"(POV). |
Although there are many hardships of being a parent "it is possible for successful teen parenting among teens in the United States"(POV). |
There are many "Options that exist to help benefit teen parents" there might even be "a free service that teens can use to complete their high school education"(POV). |
Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):
POV is a website that is designed for not only pregnant teens but also anyone that needs information about teen pregnancies. There are many ways to get the information about the situation that you need, it is not just about going through with the pregnancy but also the struggles along with it. It also gives you options for after you have the child, such as adoption. This website has been put up for informational purposes. POV does not show bias but talks about the pros and cons of teen parenting.
Credibility of Source:
Author or Site: Who is the author? What training have they had? If there is no author, examine the site. What is the purpose of the site? Who funds the site?
POV did a great job on this site of not having a bias, they clearly go in depth about the pros and cons of teen parenting. There is also a disclaimer that states that the "website is for informational purposes only" and that it is used for "non-commercial use and as a guide for parents"(POV). This disclaimer is very straight forward about the intentions of the website.
Attachment: Does the author or site have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative? For example, is it a cigarette business posting an article about the benefit of cigarettes, or is it a scientific community unaffiliated with the cigarette business?
There seems to be no attachment whatsoever, it seems to just be u for informational purposes only.
Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing?
I do not see a clear bias because they do go into both sides, the good and the difficult parts of being a parent.
References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility?
POV references to Women, Infant, Children (WIC), which just shows that they are in affiliation with other programs but i dont believe it changes their credibility.
Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project?
I will use this website to show both sides of teen parenting because this website has good statistics and good information that can strength my argument.
