Annotated Bibliography

You will write an annotated bibliography as a team. I recommend using google docs to collaboratively write. The bare minimum of sources is ten. You will be graded based on the thoroughness of your research. You should have many different types of sources in your bibliography. These sources should have an impact on the work you create.

Using Purdue OWL Annotated Bibliography Guidelines, summarize, assess, and reflect.

• The Wikipedia Disclaimer: Nowadays, wikipedia is often the starting point for research – it’s quick, easy, and provides an acceptable overview of many subjects. However, for serious, sustained research Wikipedia should not be relied upon as a primary source. Use Wikipedia to familiarize yourself with your subject and to locate other sources for further research.

Clarisa will then compile all the recordings into a class presentation for the CAS capstone presentation May 11, where students will be present to answer questions.
