Database Article

A single annotated bibliography entry will contain three parts: source info, summary, and analysis of use. Here is a little more info on those three sections. There is an example entry on the back side:

Works Cited Entry (Citation): Often can be copied/pasted if the source is found through the library and/or databases.

Summarize the article: This should be a short paragraph (7-10 sentences) relating what the article is about. Annotated bibliographies are for your use, so the summary should focus on what you found to be the important or key ideas. It can be a little ‘less formal than an ‘academic summary’ featured in an assignment. The goal is to complete a summary that will help you recall and organize sources for larger research projects.

Assess the article’s usefulness: Like the summary this should be a short paragraph (7-10 sentences). After the summary, measure and think about how you might use this article in your own work or essay. Assessment can be broad (The essay looks at how violence in video games continues to escalate. I could easily employ descriptions of programs as support for how the depiction of violence has become extreme) and/or specific (quote on page 3 par. 6, perfect for my paragraph on how extreme violence is being consumed by children as young as toddlers).

This relates to that with more time on Facebook, women are more worried about appearance. Appearance incorporates physical, clothes, and makeup. With the endless obsessing over other people's photos, it causes women to obsess over their body type and ends up making them feel very negative about it. This can lead women to eating disorders and unhealthy relationship with food. This source will be useful because it is directly related to women, and has to do with social media. I would like to know if this is true for other types of social media as well. Social media is a big driver in popular culture because it is the main way of communication for most young ages. social media is how idea are spread and things go viral. In some cases this can be positive, but in many ways, something offensive gets spread around and it affects many young girls. This article also makes me want to do more research about how health of women is affected by popular
