Annotated Bibliography

General Guidelines:

  • An annotated bibliography is like a work cited page, but with annotations (summaries) below each citation.

  • You will need three entries, all of which are about the same novel, Animal Farm by George Orwell. http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks01/0100011h.html

  • Work in a Times New Roman 12 point font, and use all formatting guidelines established by the syllabus and course materials.

  • Use MLA Style Guidelines.

  • Each annotation must be 90 – 120 words, which does not include the words in the citation.

How Do I Write This Annotated Bibliography? What Should My Process Be?

Step One: Your Primary Texts

Your primary text is the same novel over which you wrote your novel essay. (the novel is attached)

Using you research skills, through the CTC library database, find three journal articles on your novel. Next, read those articles, and compose a works cited type citation for each article and an annotation for each article.

Speech for Quarter 2 of Team Created Company

I need someone to help me write just my speech for a group presentation tonight. I have attached our company decisions for Quarter 1 and Quarter 2 as well as a word doc for my speaking points titled Q2 Team Presentation Outline. (I am the “president” of the hypothetical micro computer company- which is a supplier company.) We’ve already presented for Quarter 1. I attached so that you have a background reference of company. I also attached my last speech for quarter 1. Please let me know if you have any questions and I appreciate all the help! Supply chain management is my minor and not my forte!

SAMPLE ASSIGNMENT

This is about the Green Book

Book Discussion Questions. Respond in your journal according to the rubric, posted under “The Research Notebook” folder.

King:

  1. King states that when we see a horror film, we are “daring the nightmare.” What does he mean by that?

  2. King uses the metaphor of “emotional muscles” that need exercise. Some of these emotions are seen as positive in that they maintain civilization. What are some of the emotions that don’t maintain the social status quo, and why do they still need to be exercised?

  3. King relies heavily on metaphors and allusions to create a humorous tone while making his argument. What is the advantage of approaching the topic of horror in this way?

  4. Consider your own experience with horror films. Are you a fan of horror or not? If so, what about horror attracts you, and if not, what repels you? Now consider your response in light of King’s statement “We also go [to horror films] to re-establish our feelings of essential normality.” Does your response to horror connect to your feelings of normality? If so, how?

  5. King argues that we have some emotions that are affirming of civilization and its norms and others that are not—or, “anticivilization emotions,” as he terms them. Identify and analyze how these negative emotions are “exercised” (to use King’s metaphor) in your own life experiences beyond watching horror films.

  6. Compare King’s essay with Chuck Klosterman’s “My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead.” How does Klosterman differ from King in his analysis of the need for horror in people’s lives? In what ways are the two in agreement? Explain your responses using specific textual support from both essays.

  7. King reports that one critic said, “The Horror film has become the modern version of the public lynching.” King continues the metaphor when he claims, “The potential lyncher is in almost all of us.” Do some research on the history of lynching in the United States. After your research, argue whether the comparison between public lynching and horror films is either fair and accurate or overdone and exaggerated. Defend your response.

Klosterman:

  1. What are the inherent limitations of zombies, according to Klosterman? In what way do those limitations make zombies different from other monsters, such as vampires?

  2. Klosterman writes, “When we think critically about monsters, we tend to classify them as personifications of what we fear.” What are those fears, and how does Klosterman connect them to specific monsters?

  3. Klosterman quotes Alice Gregory as stating, “Opening Safari is an actively destructive decision. I am asking that consciousness be taken away from me.” What is Safari, and what does she mean by this?

  4. Analyze the difference between the zombie as a monster and the vampire. What different fears do they represent, and how are those fears to be combated? What does the presence of the zombie in popular imagination say about people’s anxieties about modern life?

  5. One metaphor that Klosterman uses is the computer, and in particular the Internet. Examine how zombies can be seen as a metaphor for the Internet. Based in your experience with the Internet, do you think this is an apt metaphor? Explain, using specific types of Web sites or other Internet functions to illustrate and support your answer.

  6. Klosterman poses a key question in paragraph 6: “What if contemporary people are less interested in seeing depictions of their unconscious fears and more attracted to allegories of how their day-to-day existence feels?” If we are attracted to the zombie as an allegory for boring daily existence filled with repetitive, seemingly meaningless tasks, do these tasks prove more persistent and resilient than zombies? After all, Klosterman argues, “zombies are just as easy to kill,” but real-life tasks often are not. Give examples from everyday life to support your position.

  7. Skip.

  8. Klosterman references several movie and television versions of the zombie myth: Night of the Living Dead (1968), World War Z (2013), and The Walking Dead (AMC). View at least one of these and argue whether his metaphor of zombies as incarnations of our daily challenges (e.g., “reading and deleting 400 work e-mails”) seems correct or not. Develop your response with specific examples from both Klosterman’s essay and the movie or television version of the zombie myth you viewed.

Formatting Requirements:

 APA formatting (though you may disregard the running head requirement)

o If you need help with your APA formatting, a great online reference is the Purdue Online

Writing Lab https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01…

o NOTE: If you use the citation function in resources like Google Scholar, please be sure to

check the results it provides you against proper formatting. Often times it will make an

error in the capitalization rules for titles of works.

 12 point font, preferably Times New Roman

 Standard one inch margins

 Double-spaced

 Cover sheet with:

o Your name

o Class number/Instructor Name

o Date

 Reference section at the end. Use about 10 -15 sources in all paper.

NOTE: Please be sure to differentiate between references and resources under separate

headings as may be necessary

 A quick way to remember the difference is that references are works to which

you refer to in the body of you manuscript in the form of directly quoted or

summarized content coupled with either an in-text or parenthetical citation.

Resources on the other hand are those materials that helped to provide you

with a general understanding of a topic, but from which you do not directly

quote or summarize.

 Page length

5-10 pages, excluding the cover page and reference/resource sections

NOTE: If you are struggling with your writing, please talk with me. Even if you aren’t

struggling, please don’t hesitate to share your ideas or writing with me. I’m always

happy to review drafts and offer feedback.

o NOTE2: Please do not feel that your paper has to be longer to be better. I’m the most

interested in the quality of your reasoning and expression of ideas, so a refined five

page paper is better than a watered down or drawn out 10 page paper.

Content Requirements:

 Abstract – A summary of no more than 100 words describing the contents, focus, and general

conclusions of your paper.

 Body of your Manuscript

o Introduction and Context

 Please describe your background and understanding of the Public Domain and

related concepts such as Fair Use, prior to taking this class. Then please consider

how your knowledge and understanding of these concepts have changed since

taking this class. Finally, please describe your unique context and/or lenses that

inform how you’re approaching this class and the concepts we’ve been

covering.

o Main Topic

 Please describe your main topic of interest in relation to the Public Domain and

related concepts. For some of you this may involve discussing how what we’ve

addressed can be leveraged in your unique contexts presently or in the future

(e.g. a specific project you might undertake, specific activities you’ll develop),

while others will be discussing related concepts such as providing credit for

work, innovation, concepts of ownership, use of materials for instructional

development, or discussing differences in how your home country handles the

Public Domain and related concepts such as Fair Use and specific uses like

Mashups and Re-Mixes.

 This is the section where you will provide citations to works we’ve read in class

(though you can certainly utilize them in other sections of your manuscript as

well). You may also reference other materials you locate in your own

explorations or are relevant from other parts of your professional or academic

experiences (i.e. jobs, other classes, independent reading, etc.). Think of this like

having a conversation with me where you tell me which portions of the

materials you’re basing your understanding on, what concepts most resonated

with you, how that relates to your context area, and what new kinds of

connections you’re making.

 If I was tackling this as a student I would focus on two of my context areas of

teacher preparation and technology integration. As part of that I would want to

bring in some literature considerations from teacher education and technology

integration. This might take the form of concept definitions, a summary of how

teachers use technology, and some discussion of how pre-service teachers are

prepared. I could then talk about how I might address some of these

considerations through a project such as how in class I showed you the basic

structure and some context examples of a public domain education resource

site I’m slowly developing. I could then identify some links with the readings for

considerations that may need be addressed when helping teachers or pre-

service teachers to contribute their own lesson ideas to such a site or broader

discussion points that may be important for users of such a site to consider. I

could also discuss how free materials from the Public Domain could be used in

poorer schools or as materials for encouraging the development of 21 st Century

Skills by having students re-mix and redesign past works. Using any portion of

my example above, can you see how you might develop your own topic?

o Future Explorations, Possibilities, and Growth Opportunities

 In this section please consider areas of future exploration or areas of growth

that you may be able to achieve in relationship to the Public Domain and related

concepts. In writing this section you may find that as you’ve worked through

this portion of the seminar you’ve developed new questions or new lenses

which to view our field or your own unique contexts. Similarly, you may have

new or different ideas about the dissemination of your own work.

o Concluding Thoughts

 In this section you’ll be summarizing what you’ve addressed in your manuscript,

but I also want you to take this opportunity to be reflective. As we’ve worked

through the seminar we’ve seen that concepts like what’s in the Public Domain

and what constitutes Fair Use have changed over time. Similarly we’ve explored

ways that we can play/work with different materials to either educate, subvert,

express, bring people together, cause people to question, or serve as a

foundation for future work. Having read, discussed, and experienced these

things what are your thoughts on all of this and how these topics might evolve

in the future?

 NOTE: I’m not looking for a particular answer here, so please don’t feel that I’m

looking for a “right” answer. This is just an opportunity to look back over the

proverbial ground that we’ve covered through unfamiliar territory on this little

journey of ours together.

SAMPLE ASSIGNMENT

Research & Summaries Question

Directions: Compose an 8-10 page theoretical paper that combines a literature review of a pertinent HDFS topic with thoughtful theoretical insights.

❖ Beginning-middle of paper (pages 4-5 pages) – 60
o What is the topic and why is it relevant? (1-2 paragraphs) [10]

The beginning of your paper needs to focus on the particular HDFS phenomenon you are trying to understand. You will want to search throughout recent scientific studies to see what scholars have found with regards to your particular research question. You will need to begin the paper by explaining what the topic is and why it is relevant for us – as family and child studies students + practitioners – to know about this topic. The literature will help you build your case, and you will be citing previous studies that demonstrate a need to know more about this phenomenon.

o What does the research say about your topic? (4 pages) [50]
After you offer an explanation of the phenomenon and why it is necessary to study, you will present the relevant research that has been done on this topic. You will need to summarize the field of research as well as present 10 different research studies and their pertinent findings. See separate examples on Moodle for more on what this will look like. In any research article, they always have an introduction + lit review, so you can also look there as an example of what you will be doing.

❖ Middle-end of paper (4-5 pages) – 70
o Identify one theory that helps us to better understand what the research says about

your topic [35]
In this section, present a short overview of the theory, 1-2 underlining assumptions,and 2-3 concepts that elucidate your literature review findings. You will be evaluated on your ability to not only articulate the theory in your own words, but toutilize appropriate citations and apply relevant theoretical insights to bring understanding to the findings of your literature review. You must cite two different academic articles that specifically discuss the theory and its concepts and/or assumptions that you are applying. You may cite the course textbook, but you will still need to cite two academic articles, as well.

o Identity a second theory that helps us to better understand what the research says about your topic [35]
This section is the same as previous bullet point except you will introduce a second theory. Follow all directions listed in previous bullet point.

❖ Conclusion (1-2 paragraphs) – 5
o End your paper with a brief conclusion, reiterating your topic’s importance, what the

literature says about it, and how HDFS students + practitioners can utilize theory to better understand the findings of the literature.

❖ Reference List (as long as you want!) – 10
o Every student will have at least 14 citations on their reference list (10 research

studies and 4 theoretical articles). I strongly encourage diversity of resources (meaning do not cite 8/10 of your research studies from the same journal or the same author). I encourage you to have more than fourteen resources!! There is no required amount of in-text citations you need to have, although you will have at least fourteen spread throughout your paper. A good rule of thumb: If the reference is on your reference list, then it must be cited in the paper somewhere…and if you citedsomething in your paper, then you must include the reference in the reference list.

Important Reminders / Formatting, Grammar, Writing Center, etc – 5

  • ❖ As with everything else you have turned in for this class, this paper needs to be well- polished and utilize appropriate grammar, syntax, style, and formatting. Review the syllabus– and previous LR assignments – for more on APA style. Do not include running headers, an abstract, or cover page. Write name, date, and FCS 320 in top corner and center your title. Then, start your paper. Make sure to also submit your writing center signature page at the same time you submit your final paper — no signature page means you receive a zero on your final paper.
