Hi everyone– just a friendly reminder that Unit 2 is Due on Friday.  To see what this unit entails, please remember to check the assignment sheet under Major Assignments HERE. 

HERE is the padlet with the great titles you wrote today, in case you want to use one!

Some of you may need to brush up on your PIE (Point/ Information/ Explanation) paragraphs. If your source entries are all one GIANT paragraph long– I’m talking to you.  This probably means you need to split that giant paragraph into a few smaller paragraphs, each with a distinct point!  HERE is the slideshow we watched in class where we talked about how to write paragraphs.

Friday, Oct 30: Annotated Bibliography Unit Due: (use category  UNIT 2 FINAL DRAFT)

So, you’ve written all the parts.  Now it’s time to put them together into one document!  Your final draft will contain:

  • A Title (NOT just “Unit 2”. Something that draws your readers in!)
  • Intro
  • THREE  Source Entries
  • Conclusion!

Consider your presentation. Think about what we talked about when we discussed “Clean Up Your Mess.”  What annoys you when you read online?  Don’t do that?  What do you like when you read online?  Try to do that!  I realize this is an odd assignment– the audience for an annotated bibliography is often a small team that is sharing research, or even our future selves.  But still, we can make the Reflective Annotated Bib look good!

It can  help to use headings, if they fit (it’s more helpful to have a descriptive heading, like “Expanding my mind with the Multiverse” rather than something generic like “section two.”)  This isn’t a requirement, just an option.  Likewise, feel free to add an image or two if you feel it would spice things up! This is also totally optional.

REMEMBER: THE FOURTH SOURCE ENTRY (THE LEGAL SOURCE) WILL BE DUE ON NOV 9, AFTER CONFERRING WITH DR. C!
