Socials 10 - Issues part 2: Annotated Bibliography

Part 2:  Search for Sources & Preparing an Annotated Bibliography 

 

This is a research essay.  Your opinion (thesis) must be supported with evidence.  Thus you must consult CREDIBLE, ACCURATE & RELIABLE sources of information such as:  online newspapers, interviews, websites, documentaries, books etc…  We will use two blocks to begin your search and compile your annotated bibliography.  I WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO create an annotated bibliography!   

- document each source according to Chicago Style.  You will then  

-skim through the source and write down (annotate) information which will be helpful to you.  For example: note the maps, images, quotes, chapters, drawings etc., included in source.   

-include the biases, topics addressed, quality of the source.   

These notes are to save YOU time in your research so make notes that will help you be most efficient.  They act as a reminder of what is in that source when/if you consult it again.  You must annotate a minimum of 5 sources.

Stage 2:  Creating your annotated bibliography

What is an annotated bibliography?

An annotated bibliography is a 50-150 word summary of what is in your source.  You will be critically examining and evaluating the source.  Explain why and how this source is important to your research.  Is there a bias?  Is the author credible?  Who was the intended audience?

An annotated bibliography includes three things:

-a number (for organizational purposes)

-your documented source in Chicago style

-a summary of the information found in that source.  Part of the summary will be an assessment of its value to your overall paper.  It may include good graphs or tables, so you will say this.

**these notes are to help you save time in your research so make notes that will help you be most efficient

***PURPOSE of annotated bibliography is to act as a reminder of what is in that source when/if you consult it again.

****You must annotate a minimum of 5 sources

Start with finding scholarly articles from BC Digital Classroom found https://focusedresources.ca/en/digital-classroom-access

Here is an example:

Topic:  Tans-mountain pipeline

#1

Mahor, Stephen, “Memo to Alberta:  Get a grip,” April 22, 2018, 5.

-favours hearing BC concerns -opinion piece – very biased, maybe use for ideas for against building but need more info or not useful -long term favours Alberta but hard to see economic gains for BC in long term -BC gets increased tanker traffic and high chance of bituman spill that BC will then need to clean up -(blames) US environmental lobby against Keystone XL -Trudeau will back pipeline with federal money esp since failure of other pipelines to move Alberta oil -talks of history of Fed gov funding energy and oil projects -transfer payments -reference to Chris Turner “The Patch”

Socials 10: Nov. 4th including link to 1920's scrap book

***Reminder:  Thursday Nov. 7 is the last day to hand in work for term 1.  (Your last unit test, political cartoon and issues part 1 will be included in this). 

Today we are going to continue talking about the post WWI era.  We will start by going over the Friday 5 and then  do some notes on the Welcome Home notes frame, and answer the following questions:

• Who were the big 3 and what did they each want at the end of the war?
• What was Canada’s role at the Paris Peace conferences?
• Were the terms of the treaty of Versailles just and fair?
• How might the treaty led to further unrest?

From here we will work on two things:

1.  The 1920's scrap book

2.  Part 1: issues paper

Here is the link for the 1920's scrap book:

Socials 10: Nov. 1

 Today in Socials 10 we had a Friday 5 quiz and then discussed the expectations for part 1 of your issues project.  We discussed the overall project and that 50% of it is marked on the process and the other 50% is on the actual paper so we will spend a lot of time on the process of this project/paper.  We spent the rest of the class working on part 1 which is due on Monday or Tuesday.  I will give a bit more time on Monday to complete.
