Week 8 Agenda: Working with Sources

For Monday, 10/16

  • Library session – We will meet in our classroom and go to the library together.

For Wednesday, 10/18

  • Find the first source for your annotated bibliography
    • Use the City Tech library’s online databases or the internet to locate one reputable source that helps you respond to your research question. Some useful databases are NexisUni, Academic Search Complete, and Opposing Viewpoints. Remember that the first source you come across will not necessarily be the best one! You will have to look at multiple sources to find one that is truly useful for your specific question. 
    • Read your source carefully a couple of times and take notes. (Either take notes directly on the article or write down ideas and quotes from the text that you find compelling.)
  • Bring your annotated article to class. We will work on drafting the annotation.
