Assignment: Teacher Absence & Student Achievement Annotated Bibliography
During the first module of this course, you described your topic and started initial research on your project. Now, you will conduct the research and analyze it to determine your research themes.
Reading and Annotated Bibliography
Step I: Understand
After reading your 5 credible sources and completing Research Assignment Part 1, create an annotated bibliography for each source highlighting the main ideas of the source. In the summary, you should understand each article's thesis and main points. For the credible website, you should paraphrase the thesis and main point if these are not directly stated on the website. The first paragraph should summarize the research. In the second paragraph, describe how the source will be helpful to your project.
Step II Reflect: Write a reflection about your research findings. You will need to synthesize your findings. To start your reflection, consider the following:
What connections are there between the sources?
What themes can you see within the sources?
What other information or details from your sources will be important to inform your project?
Step III Review Your Work: Review your sources, annotated bibliography, and reflection.
Step IV Select Themes: Select at least 3 of the themes from your synthesized research that you want to convey to your target audience. These themes need to be directly related to your project. List these below.
