September 19th

Today you will be creating the first annotation from the "Book World" article that you prepared for today.

1. Take out the sample annotation that you marked yesterday. Also, open up the sample Annotated Bibliography with Instruction link that we examined yesterday. It is the perfect "how to" for the Annotated Bibliography.

2. Open up a Google Document and start formatting your page- Header, MLA heading, Colon title, etc.

3. Provide the bibliography information citation first. Yes, look at the bottom of the source for this information, BUT, double check that it is updated to MLA 8 edition. To do this, check HERE: Online Database Citation- MLA  Scroll down to online database citation example, and make sure that you have all the needed information.. take out what you don't need.

4.  Start writing your 3 paragraphs... FIRST- The Summary of the article. SECOND- The Assessment of the source (use the LMC guidelines). THIRD- The Reflection of how the source can be used in your argument. You will need to add TWO direct quotes from the article within the three paragraphs. Make sure that you introduce your quote.. and cite it correctly. 

Davidson explains that "she has used technology to help her students work more effectively in groups" (Roth).

** Note that Davidson is the author of the BOOK that ROTH is reviewing in the article.
** Also note that I used the word "that" in my introduction of a quote.. this means NO COMMA.

REMINDERS:
  • Write in 3rd person POV... no "I" and, really no "YOU". 
  • Double spaced
  • Block indent of all of the paragraphs
  • Citation uses hanging indent on second and sequential lines of the citation
  • Look at the example and then look at your formatting... identical? 
  • Do you have 2 direct quotes from the article within your writing? Cited correctly?
FOR WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY:

5. When finished, you will need to PRINT OFF your annotation for class on Wednesday/Thursday to bring TO class. You will not use the digital copy for class... nor will you be allowed to print during class.
