  3. Team Project Annotated Bibliography An annotated bibliography due October 5. Annotations are short explanations of a source. Annotated bibliographies must contain at least twopeer reviewed sources(meaning they come from a refereed, scholarly journal or a scholarly book). You may need more sources. This assignment must be written in APA 6th edition format and will not receive credit if written in other formats. Grading will consider GSP, APA style, and quality of annotations. Each team member will receive an individual grade on the annotated bibliography assignment.

  4. Bibliography • A bibliography • A list of research sources (books, journals, websites, periodicals, etc.) • Sometimes called "references" or "works cited" depending on the style format you are using. • Includes the bibliographic information (i.e., the author, title, publisher, etc.). • An annotation is a summary and/or evaluation.

  5. Annotation • An annotated bibliography includes a summary of each of the sources. • When Summarizing, annotations may do one or more of the following: • What are the main arguments? • What is the point of this book or article? • What topics are covered? • If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say? • Need 4 to 5 sentences per source • Good Rule of Thumb: • 2 to 4 sentences to summarize the main idea(s) of the item, and • 1 or 2 sentences to relate the material to your research topic and/or to evaluate the material.

  6. Format • Basic APA Style Format for an Annotated Bibliography • Format your citations in the same manner as for a normal reference list, then follow these instructions for adding an annotation. • Double space the entire bibliography, including within the citations and annotations. • The annotation is indented as a block, 2 additional spaces. The right margin is the normal right margin of your document.

  9. Theory Project • Your team will put together a presentation to deliver to the class about one Mass Communication Theory. The presentation should cover three main sections: • background and critiques of the theory • communication research using this theory (both recent and seminal studies) • a case study where you apply your theory to a specific modern medium (e.g. you would examine a specific website as opposed to the entire Internet).

  10. Theory Project This project will be assessed in three different ways. • Oral presentation (60 points) – Presentations will be assessed based on organization, delivery, and integration of PowerPoint/Video/Graphics. Each team member will receive the same point total for this portion. • Outline (20 points) – Each team must turn in an outline for the theory presentation. You must include a reference list with this outline. Each team member will receive the same point total for this portion. • Team Member Evaluation (20 points) – Team members will have the opportunity to evaluate the other team members and him/herself. This point total will differ for each team member.
