January 19 - Annotated Bibliographies and Evaluating Sources

Today, we will learn (1) what is meant by the term annotated bibliography, (2) what are the requirements of an annotated bibliography, and (3) how to create an annotated bibliography in EasyBib.

Agenda

Part One: Annotated Bibliographies

Open the Active Listening Handout. Answer the questions on the handout as we review annotated bibliographies. Replace all blue text with your own answers.
Create and copy a shareable link to your work.
Submit the link using this form.

Part Two: Evaluating Sources

CRAP is an acronym that refers to: Currency, Relevance, Authority and Purpose. It is a way to evaluate sources.

We will be using the CRAP Test Rubric to practice evaluating sources.

Part Three: Writing an Annotation

Practice writing an annotation using the organizer and notes provided. Once you've completed and turned in your assignment, move on to Part Four.

*An editable Google Doc version of the annotated bibliography organizer is available for you to use for your project.

Part Four: Using EasyBib to Create an Annotated Bibliography

With a pair of headphones, watch the following video demonstrating how to create an annotated bibliography in EasyBib. Please note, even though the video talks about MLA style, the process will be the same for an APA style annotated bibliography.
