Contemporary crises and responses

Eng. 110

When you signed up for this class--Contemporary Crises And Responses--you might have thought of this.


 (Did you know it was a full page comic?)

To be fair, it's not far off. Some of what's going on in the world I can't help you with, but some things I can.

For right now, let's focus on that. 

If you have never had to write an annotated bibliography before, it might seem overwhelming. Thankfully, all things in life can be broken down into manageable pieces! An annotated bibliography is simply a bibliography with notes. Yep, it's right there in the name.
 

What purpose do they serve? Although they take time to put together in the beginning, they save you time in the end.

How? If you have a research paper or project to do, you are not going to remember every single article you've read. Sometimes even if you 
do remember, it's hard to find the specifics when you need them. 

 

By making an annotated bibliography, you can quickly hunt down the article you want to cite from, remind yourself of what you've read, and have your citation already typed up so you can just paste it into your final Works Cited page. 

This video is great if you get stuck or want an alternative explanation. It has a second part, a third part, and a fourth part.
