Research QuestionsBefore continuing to find sources…

1. Open the "Research Questions" document in the "Research" Folder. Fill it in accordingly. Print and turn it in.
2. Take an Annotated Bibliography Assignment and Sample Handout
   Read over it. You will NOT start on the Annotated Bibliography until you finish through slide 6 and complete # 7 & 8. on slide 7

   Remember: You must have 3 sources from finditva.com and 3 sources you found using the basic Internet (a search engine)
   If you do not finish finding sources today, you are responsible for bringing all 6 to class with you next time. You will not be allowed to go to the library to print. Use your time wisely.
   Sources will be checked for a grade next class.
4. When you finish finding your sources, take a yellow SOURCE PACKET and a "How to Create Bibliography/Works Cited Entries" Handout

   1) For number 1, choose A or B on page 7 of SOURCE packet (yellow packet)
   2) For number 2, choose C or D.
   3) For number 3, see page 11 in SOURCE packet
