April 29/30: annotated bibliography

Today you will work on developing a Bibliography at the end of your research portfolio. 
MLA CITATIONS:
I will walk around and assist students with the rules of MLA citations.  Please also use any of the following resources to help you with this.

• MLA citation rules - OWL Purdue University
• Sample Essay with Sources + Works Cited list

For each of your sources used, please include a brief annotation about the use of the sources, its value(s) and limitation(s) it had in your research. 

Helpful links for Annotated Bibliographies:

• ​OWL Purdue Library - MLA Guidelines on annotations
• Annotated Bibliography Instructions
• Annotated Bibliography Examples
• More examples of Annotations - This is from some of Mr. Bisset’s former students
• Sample of Annotation & how to set this up (note: this is an example from my previous IB school-- just be glad you don’t have to write one this in depth -- this was for my 7th grade IB history students. Yikes!)

HW: finish your annotated bibliography

If you didn't finish your annotated bibliography in class (most of you did not...), then work on completing this.
​
If you have already finished... you could start brainstorming your "Taking Action" to start thinking about what argument you want to make.  

Next class we will work on developing a claim statement -- what do you want to do with this research? What voice needs to be amplified? What story needs to be told on this issue?
