Draft your research question and post it here.
Do you know these search tips?
- Journal 24: Using your research question, record 5-8 key words you will use in your search. Use at least two tricks from this link or this link.
- Always use keywords, not a sentence or a question.
- Use "" (quotations) around phrases such as "Wild Bill".
- * (asterisk) is a wildcard e.g. nurs* will search for nursing, nurses, nursed etc...
- In Google, - (minus) will exclude a certain word (-university).
- In a Google search, use ~ (tilde) to search for similar words (~college will also find university).
- Use a Google Advanced Search to limit your results to just .org (non-profit), .edu (educational institutions), or .gov (government) websites. This will also let you limit to a date range.
- Look at the references on sources you found helpful to lead you to more sources.
How do I write an annotation? The purpose of the annotation paragraph is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited -- in short -- you are asked to comment on and/or explain why each source cited is useful.
- WHO -- Who wrote it and why does this person have authority on the topic?
- WHAT -- What did it say? Summarize & comment on the article; compare or contrast this work with another you have cited -- does it agree or disagree?
- WHY -- Explain why you think this article is a good addition to your research. Also, comment on the intended audience -- who was the intended audience and most importantly why was it written.
- See an example here (10 sources for Honors, 6 sources for Regular)
HW: Begin your annotated works cited. Find and annotate two articles that relate to your research question.
