LC Resources
Citation
Citation happens on two levels: in-text and works cited. While you need to be familiar with both, for the purposes of the Annotated Bibliography, you will be using the Works Cited level.
Components - In-Text
|
What it is
In-text citations are used at the moment when you quote, reproduce, or paraphrase a source. It signals to your audience that you have borrowed that neighboring idea from a different source. |
Components - Works Cited
|
What it is
A Works Cited merely lists all works by other authors/creators that you have quoted, reproduced, or paraphrased throughout your work. It is a list of the full-length citations for each of these sources, and it must be formatted in a specific way following specific rules. |
After you used NoodleTools Express to create your citations, watch the following videos to make sure each entry and the whole page are formatted correctly.

Evaluation
Components
|
What it is
Evaluating your sources ensures that you are getting the best, most reliable information from your sources. In research, credibility is paramount. Just like your teacher judges your work's credibility based on your research process and sources used, so, too, should you evaluate the credibility of resources you use. In short, evaluating resources ensures that the information you are using is accurate. |

Annotated Bibliography
Components
|
What it is
An annotated bibliography is your bibliography page with a few paragraphs explaining each resource and why you are using it. This allows your reader to know that you thought critically about the information resources you used, as well as how you used them. For the Personal Project, this satisfies the research strand of Criterion A: Investigating. |
Directions
- Create a copy of this Annotated Bibliography
- If you would like it broken down visually, create a copy of the Annotated Bib Graphic Organizer
- Rename it by typing your first and last name in the placeholders: "[First Last]'s PP Annotated Bibliography"
- Share with your PP Supervisor and Mrs. Marshall. (can edit)
- Copy/Paste the link in your ManageBac Process Journal.
- Use this document as you research, then copy it into your Final Report at the end (?)

Copyright
Directions
|
What it is
Any creative work or performance that has been recorded in a retrievable format is automatically copyrighted. If you take out a post-it note and write a poem or draw an original picture, that is copyrighted (so long as you can present the post-it to someone else and prove its date and authenticity). If you perform a dance but you do not record it either by written word or a recording device, that dance is not copyrighted. In addition, techniques, processes, discoveries, and general ideas are not usually copyrighted unless the creator or owner patents or trademarks the information. For instance, recipes are almost never considered copyrighted unless the creator patents or trademarks the recipe. |
