There are three deliverables for this project.
1) A plant information sheet on a foliage plant of your choice. The information sheet must include the following information:
- Scientific Name & Family
- Pronunciation (if available)
- Plant Type
- Common Names
- Origin & Geography
- USDA Zone
- Uses & Care
- Light Requirements
- Water Requirements
- Cultivars
- Propagation
- Pests
- Diseases
- Narrative description
- Picture
2) An APA-Style Bibliography of 5 sources.
- Three sources are ones you have determined are accurate and appropriate for this project. They are cited in the plant information sheet (in parentheses) so that you, your manager (and your instructor) know where you found the information.
- Two sources are ones you have determined are not accurate or appropriate for this project. These are NOT used for the plant information sheet. They are in the bibliography to demonstrate your process of evaluating sources; not everything you find is going to be accurate and appropriate for the project.
3) An evaluation worksheet for ONE of the sources you decided was NOT accurate or appropriate for this project. Answer the questions on the The Source and Beyond The Source chart as thoroughly as you can. Afterwards, explain how you came to the decision not to use this source.
