In the lesson, students are given a relatively short scholarly article, some guidance in effective techniques for breaking down and understanding this kind of article, and a worksheet to guide their process. When they complete the worksheet, they're given an article on a similar topic from a popular source and use a shorter worksheet to compare the two. The lesson ends with a group discussion. Students get practice, in a supportive environment, in understanding how to parse a scholarly article. Learning outcomes include applying effective article reading techniques, analyzing information found and restating points in their own words, and comparing characteristics of a scholarly article with one from a popular source. This is a 75 minute activity, created by synthesizing and building upon multiple activities and lesson plans found online.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/Information LiteracyLibrary and Information Sciencelesson_demo
