Typing in the box below to create a page.... testing, testing, learning, learning. Content is important to consider when reading and evaluating articles. First to consider, is this credible information? Is this coming from outside sources (i.e. any references materials cited) that I know have a neutral stance and provide accurate information? Furthermore, do I sense any bias/ tone embedded in the article- even if it is a bias I may agree with? Are the images helpful? What are my impressions and takeaways?

My article to evaluate: Janis Joplin

I have chosen this article because my family and I love Janis's music. I grew up listening to her, especially her album Pearl. The tone I picked up on is that she was one of the greats, despite growing up in a different political time and battling her own battles. The information is credible with exact quotes from old interviews with the rockstar, citations from books she was discussed in, and other publications she's been mentioned in. The impression I felt from the article is that she was an incredibly talented, self-made singer. The images and quotations were all helpful, as they provided helpful insight that added to who Janis was as a person and performer.
