Students will practice web research by searching for a topic of their choice, then narrowing down to five representative websites for an annotated list which includes a summary of findings, an evaluation of the websites' content and usability as well as an evaluation of the usefulness of the material on the website (reflection).
After the annotated bibliography is completed, write an introductory paragraph to explain the context for the anno bib. This is not a paper, so a concluding paragraph is not included.
Use Craig Branham's website A Student's Guide to Research with the WWW for help with searching and evaluating web resources. Oviatt Library also provides excellent assistance for "Research Strategies 3: Evaluating Sources: Internet Resources."
Engl 113 classes will have the opportunity to work with our librarian in Oviatt library. Be sure to ask questions.
The 113 class will have a separate webpage for the annotated bibliography, but will also want to include the a-bib at the end of their paper as well.
