  5. Annotations: When and How to Use Them • Annotations provide authors and researchers with a list of quickly accessed materials. • A proper annotation is no more than four sentences. • The annotation should provide an overview of the material. • The annotation is the briefest form of summary. • There are no direct quotations or references made in an annotation.

  6. Annotations: Where They Go… • Annotations go in the Works Cited page at the end of any paper. • The Annotation appears under the source that is being summarized. • All lines of the annotation must be indented.

  7. Annotations: An Example Anfara, V. A., Jr. “The ritual and luminal dimensions of student resistance to the formal culture of schooling: The relational conditions that promote resistance” Journal of Education. 26 pp (1995): 320-336. Ebsco database. Report. 9 March, 2009. This article is a collection of experimental data collected by the author on the effects of the ways high school students are treated; and how that correlates to their ability and interest to learn. The article seeks the best way for teachers and students to interact to optimize their willingness to learn.

  8. Evaluating Sources: A Brief Overview • Why evaluate sources? • How do we evaluate sources? • What does creditability mean? • What are good websites to use when writing a paper? • What is a research database? • What is a scholarly article?

  9. Evaluating Sources: Why Do It? • It is always important to evaluate the sources you use when writing a paper. • Evaluating your sources will allow you to determine their creditability and whether they will strengthen or hurt your argument. • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpentry

  10. Evaluating Sources: Resources • http://www.carrollk12.org/wmh/media/research/evaluating/default.asp • http://olinuris.library.cornell.edu/ref/research/webcrit.html

  11. Evaluating Sources:RADCAB • Relevancy- is the information relevant to the question at hand? Am I on track? • Appropriateness- Is the information suitable for my age and core values? Will it help me answer my question? • Detail- How much information do I need? Is the depth of coverage adequate? • Currency- When was the information published or last updated? • Authority- Who is the author of the information? What are his/ her, their qualifications? • Bias- Why was the information written? Was it written to inform me, persuade me, or sell me something?
