For Essays One and Two, you will be submitting what is called an Annotated Bibliography. They are worth Informal Work points, and there are no “rough drafts.” You will be building the Annotated Bibliography as a separate document, as you create your References page– this will streamline the process (which we will cover in class).
The bibliographies are due after submitting an essay draft, to give time to iron out the details and polish them up.
Step 01: Download the “Annotated Bibliography Entry Example”
Step 02: Save a copy of the file to your computer (and/or your OneDrive account)
Step 03: Create an APA-style entry for each of your sources in the download, in line with the example, with a “blurb” about the source’s main ideas/your use in the essay/vet using the CRAAP or SIFT Test
For each source, include:
– the full APA reference as it would show on the References page (please use the A Pocket Style Manual, via pages 211+)
– the main idea of the source and your use in your essay (just 1-2 sentences)
– list or explain in short paragraph form how the source passes The CRAAP Test (3/4 at the least)
EXAMPLE ENTRY FOR ONE SOURCE (do not need to “list”; can be in paragraph form)
Khazan, O. (2016, December 13). Why are so many Americans dying young? The Atlantic Monthly. https://www.theatlantic.com/
health/archive/2016/12/why-are-so-many-americans-dying-young/
The main idea of this article is examining the reasons behind deaths of young American citizens; I will be discussing the heavy statistics provided in this study that were relasted in 2019.This source passes the CRAAP Test (the source should “pass” at least 3 of the elements) because it was published in 2023 (less than a year old), and is peer-reviewed and published by experts in U.S. Census Bureau, and is accurate due to data collection methods. Last, it is extremely relevant to my research question due to topic and research on young people’s death rates.
REMEMBER: a minimum of 4 scholarly, expert sources (no informal blogs, encyclopedias, dictionaries, .com HowStuffWorks, WebMD, or Wikipedia sources; one CWI source is required) that pass the CRAAP or SIFT tests.
Step 04: Be sure you’ve saved all and submit as a .docx or .doc and submit by the deadline (please do not submit PDFs, .rtfs, or text submissions– thank you!)
