Don't forget to paraphrase/summarize the answer and include in-text citations! **6.) Who do you think the intended audience for these guides are? Make an informed decision about one or two specific groups of people (eg. Teachers, contractors, politicians, Canadians, students, etc.) who might read these guides. Why do you think these guides are for this particular audience? Provide specific examples from the guides (or from your notes) for your reasoning. Remember, think about language use, level of detail, content, writing style, definitions, etc. /3 Hint: Make an informed decision here. Just like when you write and consider your audience, think about who these guides were written for. You can break this down in to the following categories: High-level of expertise on the topic (H), Mid-level of expertise on the topic (M), low-level of expertise on the topic (L). To consider what category, think about how much the reader knows about the topic and how much the reader needs to know for the author to achieve his/her purpose. Has the author included jargon (technical words specific to the discipline and if so, has the author provided a glossary or definitions for those words?) Has the author provided a concept in basic terms, or has the author included details facts and figures without explanation? Decide on the group and provide one or two reasons why. **7.)

Provide 2 or 3 reasons why you would or would not use these guides and explain your reasoning. Answer this question in proper paragraph structure. /10 Hint:. Review the learning materials relating to evaluating sources. Focus on currency and authority. Make sure you elaborate on why and provide evidence. For example, if you say that a guide was revised in 2016, why does that matter? Why is that current enough? Why does currency matter in that context?
