The Holocaust & Genocide: Extreme Oppression Research
1) Log in to the GCPS portal and open Google Workspace.
2) Open this example of Annotated Bibliography on Rwandan genocide to notice the MLA format used and the components as well as the citation and the parts of its annotation (note of explanation or comment) for each source required: a) Work Cited entry, b) Source Credibility (Dolcimascolo periods 2, 5 & 6; McCaffrey period 3 ONLY), c) Summary of the Source, from skimming and reading it, and d) Sharing a specific useful and important fact from it by writing an introduction for it in your sentence and attaching a direct quotation with a colon(:). 3) Choose your topic from the column on the right or the USHMM or genocide site. Check with your teacher if opting for a non-Holocaust genocide or oppression, such as Apartheid. 4) To streamline your assignment, click to make a copy and then fill in the parts of the Google Doc Annotated Bib in Boxes, three-part Annotations (pers. # 2,5, & 6) or Annotated Bib in Boxes, two-part Annotations (Dolci per. # 4) instead of a typical hanging indented MLA format. 5) Include three sources minimum, at least one from an online database source--consider one from the ABC-CLIO history collection (see below). 6) As indicated on the Google Doc, you will generate and edit an MLA citation using the embedded citation tool EXCEPT for your database source(s), from which you can copy a correct citation and paste it into the yellow box, part A. 7) Alphabetize your annotated bibliography's three citations using the first REAL word of its first item--either an author's last name r the first word of it's page or article title. (Don't count articles like a, an, or the when alphabetizing.) 8) Once you've pasted or generated your citation, you will use skimming and reading to generate about two sentences of overall summary of its content for part C, AND you will choose one specific short section to quote directly, setting it up with a personally written introductory lead for part D. (See example on Rwanda.) 9) If your class is required to include part B, write one or two sentences on the source's credibility by reading tops and bottoms of the site, "About Us," or other statements about who is responsible for the accuracy of its content. |
An annotated bibliography is a list of citations for various books, articles, and other sources on a topic. The annotated bibliography looks like a Works Cited page but includes an annotation after each source cited. An annotation is a short summary and/or critical evaluation of a source.
