Journal of the American Medical Association
(reliable)
(social media, so unreliable).
(not RS)
Forbes
(example of how contributors articles are not RS) Could also use CNN iReport here.
Know Your Meme
(user-generated, so not RS). Could also use Urban Dictionary, Goodreads, or Ancestry.com to demonstrate this.
(local newspaper, but reliable)
(student newspaper, but reliable)
(reliable, doesn't matter that it's in German and that you may never have heard of it before)
The New York Times
But it's an opinion piece! So unreliable.
Note:We'll need to adapt this so it works for returning to both the Markup track and VE track. It's probably best to build the quiz here, then create two pages where it's transcluded, similar to what we do for several other referencing pages.
