Studio Time | Annotated Bibliography A bibliography is a list of the sources you have discovered during the research process. It is the same as a bibliography except it also includes annotated paragraphs that provide your readers with more information than a mere citation provides. During the research phases (there will be several throughout the semester), seek out information about your country and record in annotated bibliography format. Your annotated paragraphs should include the most important information presented about your country. Both your annotated notes and printed annotated bibliography will be stored in your delegate binder.
Citation
Paragraphs and Quotes The annotated paragraphs begin on a new line after the citation; however, there is not an extra space between the citation and the paragraph. Paragraphs also need to be indented. If Google Docs reformats your work, simply follow the same indentation guidelines as above.
Banner | Religion Do Now | What's in a Name?
Find the meaning of your Member States name. Share out with the group as a whole. Example: Wisconsin's name might have come from a Native American word meskonsing, meaning roughly “it lies red,” or "this stream meanders through something red." It probably refers to the state's reddish sandstone. Creation: While your banner should include a written component that communicates the information you found during the research phase, it must also include images. These images may consist of symbols, maps, icons, drawings etc. IF you choose to print images from the internet, those images must be reimagined into your own creation. In other words, you may not simply print images from the internet and glue them onto your banner. Remember you will be adding to this banner throughout the school year, so spacing should be a major consideration. While you do not want this to take up too much space, you also do not want your visuals to be too small or unreadable.
