Title: Annotated Bibliography Total Value 10%

Annotated BibliographyTotal Value 10
  • Project Overview
  • Or
  • Getting Started

2
What is an annotated bibliography?
  • To make these guidelines easy to understand, I am
    going to use four simple sections, as follows
  • 1) How this project affects your grades on essays
    2, 3, and 4.
  • 2) I tell you what an annotated bibliography is.
  • 3) I give you an example of an entry.
  • 4) I provide a checklist of everything that
    should be included.

3
Section 1 Why is this project so important to
essay 2 and essay 3?
  • Because all the research you do for this project
    must be used again in essays 2, 3, and 4.
  • Whatever topic you research and write about for
    your annotated bibliography is your topic for the
    rest of the semester.
  • If you decide to write about a different topic in
    essay 2, 3, or 4, then you must do all the work
    of an entirely new annotated bibliography over
    again on the new topic.
  • I really do advise against this.

4
Section 2 What is an annotated bibliography?
  • It's made up of 10 entries, and each entry has 2
    parts an MLA style citation an annotation.
  • Basically, you research 10 scholarly articles,
    all on the same topic, and then you write a
    citation/annotation for each one.

5
Section 3 An example of an entry
  • First of all, we should define a citation.
  • A citation provides the publishing information on
    your scholarly article.
  • It says where the article was published, who
    wrote it, and a few other things we'll learn
    about in class. Ill show you an example shortly.

6
Now lets define an annotation.
  • An annotation is a short summary of the scholarly
    article, and it's also a critique of it.
  • Simply put, your annotations do two things
  • 1) explain, or summarize, what the article is
    about, and the article's thesis should be
    summarized in your first sentence.
  • 2) evaluate why the article is a worthwhile one
    to read.

7
You wrote a good annotation if
  • anyone who reads your final work understands the
    scholarly article's argument.
  • They should also know the problems or solutions,
    if any, that the article proposes.
  • Finally, they will know whether the article is of
    a superior nature, or if they should go look for
    a different scholarly article on this subject.

Here is an example of an entry(Make the font

  • Miller, Brian, Gerado Ceballos, and Richard
    Reading. The Prairie Dog and Biotic Diversity.
    Conservation Biology 8.3
  • (1994) 677-81. Since the turn
    of this century, prairie dog populations have
    declined up to 98 throughout North
  • America, largely due to prairie
    dog eradication programs. The prairie dog is a
    keystone species that plays an important
  • role in maintaining the biotic
    integrity of the western grasslands from
    southern Canada to northern Mexico. Prairie dog
  • depopulation has degraded
    diversity on those prairies, and several species
    depending on prairie dogs now have listing
  • status under the Endangered
    Species Act. Some form of legal protection for
    prairie dogs is needed. Positive incentives
  • for ranchers to watch over the
    interests of both livestock and wildlife will
    enhance the attitude change necessary for
  • grassland conservation. These
    incentives hinge critically on an end to U.S.
    government subsidies for prairie dog
  • eradication programs. The
    subsidies are financially and ecologically
    unsound, and contribute to the prevailing
  • misconceptions about the role of
    the prairie dog on the grasslands.

Your Checklist
  • ____ I am turning in 10 entries
  • ____ I don't start a new page for each entry.
  • ____ None of my entries are from our
    textbooks, readings on reserve, or any other
    readings associated with this course.
  • ____ One of my entries is from an
    appropriate website.
  • ____ I got seven of my entries from journals
    from the OSU library shelves or stacks.
  • ____ I got two of my entries from books from
    the OSU library shelves.
  • ____ No more than eight of the articles I am
    handing in were printed off a computer.

10
Your Checklist (continued)
  • ____ I am turning in copies of all ten of my
    articles, which means the entire article, with my
    annotated bibliography
  • ____ None of my entries are from magazines or
    from publications with advertisements in them.
  • ____ For the two books I used to write
    entries about, I am turning in a minimum of 10
    copied pages from each book.
  • ____ I individually stapled each article,
    rather than handing in loose pages or one big
    mass of papers.
  • ____ I wrote my name on the front page of
    each individual article.
  • ____ I stapled the annotated bibliography
    together.

11
Your Checklist (continued)
  • ____ Each annotation I wrote is a minimum of
    100 words to a maximum of 150 words, which
    doesn't include the words in the citation.
  • ____ I realize that for each copy of an
    article that I don't hand in my grade on this
    project will be reduced by 10, even if I have
    written an entry for that article.
  • ____ I realize that for each entry that I
    don't write, or if it is incomplete, my grade on
    this project will be reduced by 10.
  • ____ I realize that once I turn in this
    project, no matter whether I turn it in on time
    or late, additional turn-ins of articles won't be
    accepted.
  • ____ I am using MLA style in accordance with
    class lectures, overhead presentations, etc.

Quick Recap
  • I recommend printing out these guideline and the
    checklist from the starting page of my website.
  • Go to the secondary course materials drop down
    menu and choose the annotated bibliography
    guidelines.
  • Thats all for now, but view the next power point
    presentation on the list too.
