For today’s Session 14, we continue thinking about beginning research for the Unit 2 Assignment, creating an Annotated Bibliography.
Review: remember, you are looking for four sources for this bibliography. In order to do start this process, you learned where to find information in Session 13 with three resource posts on the library. If you need to refresh, here they are again:
-
-
- City Tech Library Resources, Part 1: Library Homepage and a Video Orientation
- City Tech Library Resources, Part 2: Starting Your Research
- City Tech Library Resources, Part 3: Recommended Databases for ENG 1101-LC09
- Remember, you must log in to the library using your CUNYfirst credentials. This often has your first name.last name and a number.( Example: John.Smith76) This is also what you use to log into Blackboard.
-
For today’s session:
- Watch: two video presentations
- UPDATED Video Presentation 1: Library Research Demonstration In this video, I demonstrate finding sources in the library using Academic Search Complete
- Video Presentation 2: Visual Example and Breakdown of Unit 2 Assignment In this video, I go over assignment 2 and show a visual example of an Annotated Bibliography. I also go over the Participation Activity
- Review: Understanding the Annotated Bibliography: Descriptions and Examples. This post explains the Annotated Bibliography in context and how this is and will be used in your future research projects in college.
- Complete: the Participation Activity for Session 14 (below).
- Note: next week you will start receiving your mid-term assessments in all of your classes. Remember that participation and effort counts for a lot in this class! If you are in doubt about today’s assignment, at least give it a try!
