We used to use CRAP test but stopped because students were missing the point. For example, they'd tell us about currency for topics where currency was not particularly relevant. Also, they always wanted to write their website evaluation as an acrostic poem:
- Current - because it was updated last year
- Relevant - because it was about my topic
- Authoritative - because the author is well known
- etc.
Now, they discuss CRAP test in middle school, but in grades 9/10 we focus on source authority. For each source they use, they must include an annotation that explains:
- Who wrote the content of this source?
- What education/experience/background makes this person an expert on this topic?
If they can not determine the author of a source, they can not use it. Sometimes, students can defend a source without an author if they find a general "About" section that explains what team of people write the content or some other valid response. Science teachers often require them to include a currency statement as well because it is science.
We had an assessment we used last year to pre and post-assess students on this task. Information on that is
HERE.
Hope that is helpful.
