Read the scenario.

Hector is researching the decline of bee populations for a research report. He needs information on the causes of decline, such as the use of pesticides—chemicals designed to kill weeds and insects that attack plants. Hector finds this source. It is not one of his usual trusted sources.

An article titled Ban Neonicotinoids Pesticides Now! reads, "Neonicotinoid pesticides are killing our bees!" There are three bullets with supporting facts.

If Hector wants to practice the strategy of lateral reading, what should he do first to learn about who is behind the source?

scan the source to find the effects of neonicotinoids on bees
read the “Our Work” section to learn about the organization
use an outside source to learn about the Bee Power organization
look up information about when the government banned DDT
