ENGL 101: English I: ENGL 101: Professor Weinberg

This page is intended to help students in Professor Weinberg's ENGL 101 classes with their Image Analysis Essay. Below are quick links to resources that may help you find your two images, library collections to search for sources to give you historical information about the events or subjects of the images, and credible websites that may also provide you with historical information surrounding the creation of your images. 

What Kinds of Credible Sources Are You Likely to be Working With?

Your specific mix of credible sources will depend on your chosen images and may be different than your classmates, but the following sources are most likely to be helpful:

• reference articles from encyclopedias, guides, or handbooks
• industry and professional sources related to art, photography, advertising, or the subject of your images
• scholarly sources like critical analyses and essays (that may or may not be peer-reviewed)
• primary sources like interviews, letters, diaries, and the works themselves

When determining if a source is credible or not, remember to consider:

• its accuracy
• the qualifications or expertise of its author
• the reputation of the author or publisher
• any detectable bias (an unfair opinion about something)
• if the reason it exists or the author's intent in sharing the information fits your research needs
• how it connects or compares to other sources you are finding
