19 March: Research Day 5, work on sources and annotated bibliography

1. "The Middle Ages" Packet was turned in.
2. "The Middle Ages" test was returned. Get instructions for corrections from Mrs. Woodliff if you missed class.
3. Source check. Daily grade. (All 6 sources were to be printed and brought to class today. No late sources will be accepted.)
4. Yellow Source Packet & "How to Create Bibliography Entries" handout:
   The handout shows you what you need in an entry, the order that information goes, and the exact format.
   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
   4) For number 4, use one of your sources that is a webpage without an author. If all your web pages have authors, include the author. (You can take the quia quiz on the previous blog entry to check your answers to #1-3)
5. Fill out the "Source ‘Cards’" handout (the one with the 6 boxes)
   Parenthetical citations:
   With an author – (author’s last name)
   Without an author – ("Article/Webpage Title") – or the first few words if the title is longer than 3 words.
6. Make this correction to the "How to Create Bibliography/Works Cited Entries"
   The last sample for a webpage:
   "Facts about Age Discrimination." The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. (8 Sep. 2008). Web. 3 Mar. 2009. (3 Mar. 2009 should NOT be in parentheses!)
7. We went over what is expected of your annotated bibliography (see assignment and sample handouts/packet. A copy of these is on the y-drive)
8. Students were to begin reading each source and make drafts of their annotations. This assignment is a MAJOR GRADE and is due at the end of class on Monday. You should NOT wait until Monday to start this!
