Q Section 1: Describe the issue you researched, including a discussion of three or more differing points of view on the issue. Your discussion must reference reputable sources to support each of these perspectives. In other words, don't simply say "some people think x." Instead, quote and paraphrase from sources that illustrate that fact. End this section with a paragraph that discusses the relationship between the topic you've been researching all session and your growing understanding of the concept of global citizenship. Support your claims about global citizenship with evidence from our text. Section 2: Focuses on your current position on the issue. Support your position on the issue with evidence. Refer to at least three reputable sources and cite them appropriately in a bibliography using the Turabian style. Section 3: Reflect upon the research process you've gone through in this class, addressing questions such as: What obstacles did you encounter during the research process? How did you address them? Which specific sources (e.g., describe a particular scholarly journal article) and access tools (e.g., talk about a specific database) did you find the most/least helpful and why? What questions/issues/problems do you still have regarding conducting academic research? What relationship do you see between information literacy, lifelong learning, and global citizenship (make sure to clearly define your terms!)? These kinds of questions are designed to help you become more cognizant of what you learned over the course of the class and what you still need to improve upon. Awareness of your information literacy strengths and weaknesses can further enhance learning, enabling you to be more intentional and systematic in your efforts to become more effective and efficient researchers. Section 4: Revised bibliography and evaluation of sources (continuation/expansion of Week 6 Evaluating Sources Assignment). ?

The issues of information literacy are nothing new and it is discussed a number of times. The main problem that occurred in information literacy is the lack of proper information among the people who are in charge of making others information literate. First and foremost requirement for information literacy is to supply proper information to others so that misinterpretation can be avoided. At present, people are often unable to distinguish original news and fake news. Actually, people have the tendency to believe what the media shows to them. It is a fact that media often plays an important role to portray fake news.
