Day 17: Introduction to the Annotated Bibliography

Objectives: Students will be able to...

· Understand the purpose of the annotated bibliography

· Identify the key parts of an annotated bibliography entry

· Evaluate the four parts of an annotated bibliography entry

· Write an entry for an annotated bibliography

Part I: Mini Quiz [3:30-3:50 (20 min)]

Yeah! Time to review. You can work in pairs or individually to complete this Mini Quiz. We will then go over the answers together as a class.

Part II Thesis Revisited [3:50-4:10 (20min)]

Click HERE to access this power point. After we have completed this portion of today's class, I will ask you to go HERE to fill out a form that we will be using to approve your thesis. It needs to be approved by tomorrow night.

Part II: Introduce the Annotated Bibliography [4:10-4:20 (10min)]

Open up or follow along on the big screen to the ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY PPT, which outlines the purpose and components. (There is also a corresponding worksheet)

Part III: Evaluating Annotated Bibliography entries [4:20-4:45 (25min)]

The PPT ends with 3 samples. You can work individually or in pairs to analyze the information in each entry (these are also on the ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY HANDOUT).  Be critical, specifically in the explanation of relevancy and analysis of reliability sections. Also, identify any missing components, and consider how each entry could be improved.

Homework:  Find and read 2-3 sources that you can use for your research papers before Thursday. You will be using these articles on Thursday in class as we start creating our annotated bibliographies.
