Educational Leadership Annotated Bibliography

 

There are 12 readings and it is the requirement:At the conclusion of the course, submit an annotated bibliography of the course readings (you only need to write an annotation for sources listed on the course schedule with an *asterisk – not necessarily all the content in each week’s module on Brightspace). What is an annotated bibliography? An annotated bibliography is a list of citations with an accompanying detailed annotation. Sources for this class will use the Chicago Manual of Style (CMS) to format the important information about a source in a consistent manner (author, title, publication, publisher, year, etc.). An annotation is a short summary of the source that begins with an introduction to the author, identifying the thesis statement (main argument), 1-3 key points in the article/chapter, and important evidence presented. Note! Brevity and the use of concise, detailed language in an analysis of the source is more important that a comprehensive/exhaustive overview. You don’t need to (indeed often cannot) include every point a reading makes. For this assignment, treat the annotation as a handy ‘note to self’ about the reading. Once you’ve given a summary of the reading, go deeper and include: points that surprised you, or an important thing you learned (a-ha moments!), or amazing quotes, or questions you have, or points you disagree with (be sure to say why), or connections to other readings/topics in class discussion.
