————————————————————————————————-

This week, we will be continuing with Unit 2: Good Trouble, the Reflective Annotated Bibliography.

After narrowing down your topic in conversation with me, AKA Prof. Noonan, begin researching.  Start with a search on The New York Times website, and also check out Opposing Viewpoints, Academic Premier, and Lexis/Nexis through the City Tech Library website.  Aim to find 2  sources that you can use for your bibliography.

Introduce your topic, why it interests you, and what you wish to find out more about

Begin scaffolding your Reflective Annotated Bibliography draft in a Google or MS Word doc. Copy and paste the HW (#1 and #2 below) into a comment below.

1. Write out your introduction paragraph, which should include what you are interested in researching, why this interests you, what you already know about it, and what you hope to find out/ some questions you have.

2. Begin your source entries. For each one of your 2 sources, write:

  • the MLA citation. Input your source info on www.easybib.com to come up with the citation format
  • 1-paragraph summary of main ideas (aim for 4-5 sentences)
  • 2 key quotes you found that represent important ideas, with citation info (paragraph number)
  • 1-paragraph response to the source, with your own opinion on the content (here you distinguish your own ideas from those of the author/artist) and why you chose to include it in your bibliography. You could also include a response to some of the quotes you chose. (5-6 sentences)
  • We will mix in the final ingredients of the RAB (Rhetorical Analysis and Conclusion)  next week!
