Task Overview:
An annotated bibliography is a bibliography with notes that summarise and explain the relevance of each bibliographic entry.
This assessment uses the 2 core readings (See pdf files attached) to move into the next important stage in writing a
persuasive essay, which is to apply relevant information from published academic literature to:
1. Build your understanding of the topic. (THE STUDENT’S CHOSEN TOPIC IS EXTREME CLIMATE EVENTS – BUSHFIES IN AUSTRALIA)
2. Find credible evidence for supporting the ideas in your final essay.
The 2 core readings will build your knowledge of key sustainability concepts and provide approaches to developing
sustainable responses to concerns. We will also identify how these core readings relate to your chosen scenario and scope.
This assessment allows you to practise essential academic skills: reading, notetaking, summarising and writing an annotated
bibliography in the correct format.
Task details:
For each core reading:
• Write a heading that is the reading’s complete and correct APA reference (See the APA referencing guide on the CDU library website). Present these in alphabetical order by the author’s surname.
• Write a 250-word summary paragraph that summarises and paraphrases the key ideas and/or arguments in the core reading. (Use your own words; do not quote from the reading.)
• Write a 250-word commentary paragraph that explains the links between the core reading to your chosen scenario and scope. To do this, explain: how and why this source is relevant to your chosen scenario; what
information, sections, themes, or examples are the most relevant ones? For example, are they relevant because
they help define or explain an aspect of your scenario or do, they provide solutions or that could be applied to
your scenario?
Suggestions to help you complete these tasks:
• Follow the task guidelines above, for writing an annotated bibliography on the appropriate structure.
• Follow correct referencing conventions to present each core reading’s details as the heading for that section of your annotated bibliography. Use the most up-to-date guidelines for APA referencing style.
• Do not add a separate reference list at the end of your annotated bibliography. There should be no in-text citations within an annotated bibliography.
• Remember that the sections of your annotated bibliography should be presented in alphabetical order according to the surnames of the lead author of the core readings.
• Use only the 2 core readings provided.
