Stop, Corroborate & listen!

Wait, Corroboration? What's that? It's just a fancy way of saying cross-checking information. Making sure that your sources line-up and strongly support your main points.

Wearing the scholar hat means thinking deeply, putting the clues together, and cross-checking information to make sure you tell the story of your topic better than it's been told before

How do you corroborate? 
Answer these questions...

1. What do other pieces of evidence (sources) say about what I just read?
2. Am I finding the same information everywhere?
3. Am I finding different versions of the story? (If yes, why might that be?)​
4. Where else should I look to find out more?
5. What pieces of evidence are most believable?
