This week, you’ll continue working on your annotated bibliography by
· Using your research question to develop search terms.
· Using those search terms to find two scholarly journal articles.
· Writing APA references and annotations for those articles.
Also, check your instructor’s feedback on your research question for last week’s assignment. Consider the advice that your instructor gave you and your experiences researching your topic. Then, make any necessary revisions to your research question.
Provides a research question for use for the annotated bibliography, but the research question will need significant revision in order to be suitable.
What is your research question that fits the three required criteria?
Check to be sure that the research question meets these criteria:
· It is open-ended (cannot be answered with simple yes or no).
· It addresses an issue or controversy and/or solves a problem.
· It is something on which you can take a stand.
WHAT IS HIGHLIGHT IN ORANGE IS THE INSTRUCTOR’S FEEDBACK
To start this assignment, complete the “Generating Search Terms" worksheet. The “Generating Search Terms” worksheet will help you select the major concepts in your research question. Think of synonyms, and then develop keywords that you can use to search for your topic. For example, if you are researching “acid rain,” write down “carbon dioxide,” “air pollution” and/or “smoke.” Save the keywords that you develop so that you can use them as you search for sources in weeks Four and week Five. I have attached the Search Terms Worksheet as a separate file this will be used to develop keywords to search scholarly journal articals.
After you have developed your keywords, you are ready to search for scholarly journal articles. Locate two scholarly journal articles that are related to your research question. Be sure to download and save the articles that you choose so that you can refer back to them later if you need to. Tip: click the “Full Text” box to make sure you find articles that include the full text and not just a brief description or an abstract.
Now you are ready to create the APA references and annotations for your sources in the Locating Scholarly Articles template . Please use this template I have attached it as a separate file.
When writing your APA references for your sources, you can refer to the Ashford Writing Center’s Common APA Reference and Citation Models. See Below
