Practice Writing an Annotated Bibliography Entry
Instructions:
- As suggested in my introductory video for this week’s module, I suggest beginning with a prewrite on your chosen prompt for the Research Project.
- Type up the given prompt question and see what you can find on ELAC’s database (or possibly Google Scholar).
- If you’re finding too many sources (thousands, hundreds) you might try to make your question, like this:
- Example of an initial question: How do you take care of pets?
- Example of making the initial question more specific: How do you train dogs to become guide dogs for the blind?
- This is just an example. Your Research Project prompt must be one of the few given on your Research Project instructions (see week 9).
- If you’re finding too many sources (thousands, hundreds) you might try to make your question, like this:
- Once you find a source you like, you will read that source. Then use the template for the Annotated Bibliography (see the template in AB4) to write your first entry.
- You will submit that entry here (ideally as MS Word or a PDF file).
- If you would like, you may use that source for your final Annotated Bibliography due this Saturday.
- Please note that you MAY NOT use the same source as another student. If you do so, I’ll ask you to submit this assignment again on an another source.
