The Process
Creating an annotated bibliography calls for the application of a variety of intellectual skills: concise exposition, succinct analysis, and informed library research.

First, locate and record citations to books, periodicals, and documents that may contain useful information and ideas on your topic. Briefly examine and review the actual items. Then choose those works that provide a variety of perspectives on your topic.

Cite the book, article, or document using the appropriate style.

Write a concise annotation that summarizes the central theme and scope of the book or article. Include one or more sentences that (a) evaluate the authority or background of the author, (b) comment on the intended audience, (c) compare or contrast this work with another you have cited, or (d) explain how this work illuminates your bibliography topic.

Compile an annotated bibliography. Your bibliography should be based on the Weekly Article Summary related to clinical practice from week 1 through week 6 and should include the following:

1. a template to document useful data.
2. a brief overview of each article, including the research type, major findings, and conclusions.
3. a description of relevance of each article for clinical practice.

Lucy Calkins is a noted teacher and researcher in reading and writing. Her book is a guide for parents, helping
them to work with their children’s schools to create a positive learning environment and a lifelong love of
learning in their children. Topics covered include fostering learning and curiosity in mathematics, science,
social studies, reading, and writing. Calkins’ work also offers advice on school curriculum and testing. By
providing specific examples of parental involvement, this book will help support my assertion that parents need
to play a strong role in their children’s education.

An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a
brief descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the
reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. Do not include annotations that you do not
plan to cited in the Concept Paper. For this section of your concept paper submission:
• Select 11 or more relevant and recent (ideally past 5 years) peer-reviewed articles and cite each using APA 7
format prior to the paragraph that describes the research.
• Each annotation should be approximately 10-12 sentences.
• Write a concise annotation that summarizes the central theme and scope of the article. Include one or more
sentences that:
1. Describe the study (methods, findings, etc.) – this demonstrates your understanding of what you have read
(3-5 sentences is the typical length of the description)
2. Evaluate the findings (addressing limitations or bias) – this establishes your ability to make judgments and
address problems in current research. You should have something to critique and hopefully you also find at
least one thing done well in each piece of literature you include (typically this is 1-2 sentences)
3. Make a comparison to other works in the same/similar domain – this proves you can analyze resources and
make overarching inquiries (this should be 1-2 sentences)
4. Generate ideas on where the research would likely go next – this shows that you have the ability to create,
be innovated in how you put pieces of information together and think about taking next steps (another 1-2
sentences).
The bibliographies should be organized according to three themes:
1) Gender bias/stereotypes impacting women in leadership
2) Theories: Role Congruity Theory, Status Incongruity Hypothesis, Lack of Fit
3) Authenticity in Leadershi

Evidence-Based Practice Question

Do bans on smoking in public places effected against smokers reduce smoking prevalence as compared to a situation where there are no smoking restrictions over a five-year period?
Your task is to create an annotated bibliography based on a research question that is clear, specific and measurable.

Step 1: Create a high quality research question. ( Provided Above)

Step 2: Identify 8 evidence-based articles. Write an annotated bibliography for each source, using APA citation style. Specific types of articles are required for your literature review based on the question you ask. Be critical thinkers as you choose each article. Use the following questions to guide your selection:

1. Who wrote the piece? Someone in the industry? A celebrity? A stay-at-home blogger? You are looking for evidence rather than a random opinion from someone who may or may not know anything about the topic!
2. Who published it?
3. When was it published? Last month? Last year? Five years ago? A time before computers existed? Remember, the more current, the better!
4. What was the methodology?

Your bibliographies must contain:

1500 words total (about 200 words per citation);
a complete and accurate APA citation before each summary;
a complete summary of the article as well as an analysis of its credibility, validity and overall value (a complete summary includes methodology, participants, limitations, and conclusions);

Policy Paper Proposal for a Environmental Law Class
– Background and Context of the topic. What is the nature of the problem that I will be addressing? How long has it been an issue in your community? How does it compare to similar problems in other communities? What remediation or intervention has already been?
– Potential Solutions. What is remediation approaches would be appropriate? What approach do you anticipate recommending? Why is your approach a more effective one? What criteria are you using to measure your success?
– Proposal Structure and Schedule. Describe structure of your policy paper.
– Annotated Bibliography. At least 10 sources that relevant. Each entry must be annotated with a sentence or two that summarizes the source and explain its relevance to the project.

Annotated Bibliography

The objective of this assignment is to create a record of readings for a course or for a writing
project. By creating such a record, you have a means to refer back to what you’ve read and
learned, as well as what is valuable (or maybe not so valuable) about a particular reading.
As you move through your graduate studies, it is highly useful to be able to refer to your
annotated bibliography as a reference source for future papers or projects. And, it can serve as an
aid for those works you want to revisit in the future either to read again or to consult for
particular purposes.
It can also serve you in your future career. Much of what you read in this course can become part
of your personal library of resources to access again as needed. An annotated bibliography aids
in retrieving material that can be of use because it will remind you what a particular reading is
about and where you can find it again.
For this assignment, choose 10 readings done in conjunction with this course. At least six
readings should be assigned, required readings from our course. The remaining four can be other
articles or books read that relate to arts and cultural policy. They should be scholarly, researched
books and articles. From these readings, create an annotated bibliography. At minimum, each
annotation should include:
• Full citation of the work including title, author, and publication information.
• One-or-two paragraph analytically-oriented summary of the work. (Rather than just a
summary, provide information on the work’s usefulness for your research or for the
field.)
• In the summary, make sure to include the main claim or thesis, supporting evidence,
methods used, theoretical framework, logical structure of the argumentation, and
conclusions drawn.
• Note that with some books and articles, supporting evidence may be in the form of
examples rather than researched evidence. So, for these works, concentrate on the logical
structure of the argument.
• Conclude each annotation with a statement on how you might use the work in the future.
Important note: Many students approaching this assignment for the first time do not do a good
job. They assume that they are supposed to summarize the reading—as one might do in a book
report—and then make a brief statement about whether the reading is useful for research or not.
DO NOT DO THE ASSIGNMENT THIS WAY!
Instead, your approach is to analyze the reading for its merits. Here’s an analogy that might be
useful to think about how to approach this assignment and how you should write the document.
Pretend you are hired for a lawyer to interview potential witnesses for a trial. As a big, important
lawyer, she doesn’t have time to interview the witness herself. So, she is paying you a lot of
money to do this and to tell her whether the person you interview would be a good witness for
her client. Since she is paying you a lot of money, she expects you to do a good job and make a
recommendation she can count on.
She will want to know:
• What will the witness say?
• Is he reliable?
• Will he help my client?
• Are there gaps in his testimony that might cause a problem for the lawyer’s client?
• What examples can you give that illustrate the above to the lawyer’s satisfaction?
• And, no doubt, the answers to other questions, as well.
In a similar fashion, you are “interviewing” the things you’ve read. The scholarly term we use is
“interrogate.” You are interrogating the readings to discover why they are useful.
Using the guidelines for this assignment and the other materials provided on writing an annotated
bibliography, compile an analytical report of the things you’ve read. Articulate your findings in a
way that someone who has not read the same books and articles could still appreciate the
readings and their merits.
What, in particular—and specifically— is useful or not useful? Give examples from the readings
so someone reading your document can better appreciate what you are stating. Are there things
the author didn’t include that would have increased the book’s or article’s merits? What are those
things? Why should they be included? Does the author make assumptions that are unwarranted?
What are they? Is the reading useful for future research? If yes, in what way? If not, why not?
Answering these questions requires thought and analysis on your part. Remember in our analogy
above, you’re being paid a lot of money to provide an excellent assessment. (In the case of our
assignment, you will get a really high grade if you do well.) You are not voicing your opinion.
You are providing sound judgment based on your reasoned assessment of the material you read.
Grading for this assignment will be based on the above criteria.
The length of the assignment will depend on what you write. As a loose guideline, expect to
write between one-third of a page and one-half of a page for each entry.
Your document should be in Microsoft Word or similar word-processing software.
Upon completion of the assignment, upload it for grading.
