Today’s Plan:
- Questions
- Workspaces / Group Bibliographies
- Homework
Questions / Comments / Concerns
Worknet scores: 4, 4, 4, 3.75, 3.5, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2.5, 2.5, 2, 1
- When do we start the big project?
- Are the worknets going to be used in our papers?
- This class can be confusing to do the work?
- How do we get bonus points for the assignments?
- Why are you interested in the psychological portions of our brains? I notice you like to pick our minds
- What kind of dog do you have?
- How’s your day going?
- How are you?
- How many freshman are in this class?
Annotated Bibliographies
What is an annotated bibliography?
Reminder: we are not reading/annotating Scientific American articles. If you want full credit on the annotation assignments, you have to read peer-reviewed scholarly articles.
I have created individual workspaces for the research teams:
Our goal for the next week and a half is to develop an annotated bibliography. You’ve each written one annotation for today (and, in some cases, I imagine y’all annotated the same article. That’s okay). Over the next week you will be signing up for articles in your team workspace, reading them, and crafting annotations (using the three paragraph model I introduced last class). Later, you will read articles that have already been annotated to review and expand the existing annotation. I’ll talk about this more at the end of class today.
Your job *today* is to, as a team, add research articles you have found to the annotated bibliography section. We want a giant list of things team members could read. Include the ones already listed in your Intro Material section. But I know many of you have identified a lot more articles via the worknet process–so take those central and significant articles and add them to the Google Doc (in APA format). A lot of today might feel like busy work as you track down citation information for the articles linked in workspace. But, trust me, organizing a research project as you work–particularly a team project–makes everyone’s lives easier in the end.
After you have inputted them, list them alphabetically.
Homework
Marc–is there time for a drop-indent? Is there time for a format?
Note: I am cancelling Friday’s class.
Before we leave class today, everyone will go and claim an article in the workspace to read and annotate for Monday’s class. To claim an article, simply select the author’s name and add your name as a comment [Insert > Comment]. Note that I will not be requiring a worknet, but I will ask you to identify and central studies and add them as an apa entry to the annotated bibliography. Change the color of any added entries to green so it is easier for teammates to see new possibilities.
