Day 19: Using Ref-Works

On Tuesday, March 27th class will meet in the ACES library in room 509.

You will work on putting your sources into entry format for a bibliography using Ref-Works.

In the library you will have time to work with Ref-Works and add bibliography entries to your annotated bibliography.

Day 18: Working on the Annotated Bibliography

You will be able to:
-practice writing annotated bibliographies
-work on your annotated bibliographies

In class you will actually have the opportunity to work on your annotated bibliographies.

We will begin by briefly reviewing the four parts of annotated bibliographies.

As a class we will address any concerns you have about finding sources/library day/annotated bibliographies.

You will then have the remainder of class to work on finding sources for your final research paper and writing your annotated bibliography.

Homework 3: Annotated Bibliography

The annotated bibliography will be directly related to your final research paper.

[3/13/12] You will need to gather 4-6 sources (no fewer than 4 and no more than 6!) during the library instruction day.

[3/15/12] The following class period, you will actually have the opportunity to work on creating the annotated bibliography in class.

[3/27/12] You will meet in the library for a tutorial on Refworks. Here you will put your sources for your final research paper into an entry in a bibliography.

I highly recommend that you have the annotated bibliography completed before this library session so all you have to do for your homework is to copy and paste the entries into the annotated bibliography.

Remember: Your annotated bibliography should have citation first, 3-4 sentence summary of source, 3-4 sentence explanation of relevance to topic of research, 2-3 sentence reliability analysis.

Note: Since you need a minimum of four sources for your final research paper, I will only require that you write four annotated bibliographies--even if you have five or six sources.

You will also need to make sure that your annotated bibliography follows the same formatting guidelines as required by your citation style.

Day 17: Library Day 1

We will be in the library day. You will need to find 4-6 sources for your final research paper during this class period. Eventually you will need to write an annotated bibliography for these sources. You may not have fewer sources than 4 and you may not have more sources than 6.

Day 16: The Annotated Bibliography

I brought up the University of Illinois admissions scandal to the N1 section. I found the background information about the scandal HERE on Wikipedia.

**Remember that Tuesday we will be in ACES 509 during class. Here is a MAP. You must have a final research paper topic by that time. You can choose to write a problem-solution research paper or you can choose to write an argumentative research paper.**

You can follow along with today's lesson on annotated bibliographies with THIS POWERPOINT.

You will then have an opportunity to work in groups and evaluate the annotated bibliographies in THIS HANDOUT.

You will then have an opportunity to write an annotated bibliography in your groups. Open THIS ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY PRACTICE HANDOUT. Your group will be assigned one of the articles to read and prepare an annotated bibliography for that handout. You will then present your annotated bibliography to the class.

Day 14 and 15

We fell a bit behind following our schedule. Some lessons took longer than one day and so we had a catch up day to get back on track. On day 16 (3/8/2012), we will start studying annotated bibliographies.

Day 13: PIE Structure

You will be able to:

-Identify three elements of a paragraph (point, illustration, explanation)
-Evaluate a paragraph for its use of these elements
-Use these elements to construct an argument

Before we begin today's lesson, you will take a DIAGNOSTIC EXAM.

Afterward, we will review the answers to find out what you are struggling with.



We will begin learning PIE structure today. You can follow along with today's lesson in THIS POWERPOINT.

First, consider which are good points and which are bad points. Be able to explain why some are good and others are not.

Afterward, you will work on actually identifying the structure of THESE PARAGRAPHS.
