Sample Annotation

This is a sample annotation:

This article was written by three medical professionals and published in a well-known academic journal. It focuses on the level and frequency of caffeine consumption in high school students. It also discusses the correlation between caffeine consumption and behavioral problems, as well as the correlation between caffeine consumption and other mental health issues. Additionally, the authors discuss their findings in the area of gender and levels of caffeine consumption, finding that young males are far more likely to over-consume caffeine than young females. The article includes detailed statistics on caffeine consumption that would be useful as evidence to support my essay thesis.


This annotation includes:
2-4 sentences summarizing the source (no quotes)
1-2 sentences evaluating the source's reliability/objectivity
1-2 sentences reflecting on the source's usefulness for an essay on the topic

Leadership Annotated Bibliography

One of the pieces of the Senior Project that we will be doing later this year is an Annotated Bibliography, which is a way of organizing research on a topic prior to writing about that topic.  To help you prepare for that, we will be doing an Annotated Bibliography now that will serve as a practice assignment for the Senior Project one.  

During the Senior Project, you will be researching and writing about a topic of your own choice, but this time you will be researching (but not writing) about a topic I chose: Leadership.  You should have ample time to work on the assignment in class.

Important Dates: 
November 13 - Google Doc share is due by 5PM
November 18 - digital draft collection at 5PM
December 2 - final printed bibliography/articles are due by 2:40
