Annotated Bibliography


          When Ms. Fletcher told us that we were going to do a research project I automatically thought oh great this is going to be super hard.  When we were coming up with a research topic I could not decide what I wanted to research. It took me two days to finally decide on what I was going to make my topic. Then we come back to class the next day and Ms. Fletcher says that she wants us to do an annotated bibliography on our 5 articles or resources that we were going to use when we construct our research project and she wanted it by Thursday by midnight.  When she handed us the paper saying what she wanted us to explain the articles and how many words our paragraphs had to be I thought oh great I'm going to be up all night trying to get this done.
          It turns out that doing an annotated bibliography is not that hard.  As long as you have a topic that interest you and you read the articles thoroughly it is easy to write concise descriptive and evaluated paragraphs.  As I looked at my bibliography once it was finished I liked that I could just read the short paragraphs that I wrote and decide which cite is best to go to for what it was I wanted to know at the moment.  It is convenient and prevents me from having to go to each cite and look for the information or answer to what I needed.

  1. Okay, I'm positive everyone felt the way you described, because I felt the same way and got text messages and calls asking for ideas and help as well. Everyone that actually finished and didn't consider it to hard were the people who actually took interest in the topic they chose. The people that struggled a little more were most likely not happy with their topics and just wanted to get it over with. I felt that I learned a lot from the topic I chose.
