Dear Dr. Hartman,


Ive learned so much through this process! This was the first time I had ever taught an
annotated bibliography in this way. Up to this point, annotated bibliographies for this research
paper were completed simply to check that task off the box on our to-do list; it was not an
assignment that I spent much time on. Completing the assignment in more depth and using a
workshop approach has allowed me to learn a lot about my strategies for teaching this
assignment, my students, and the overall value of an annotated bibliography for this research
project.

I made several changes after my initial design submission. I added a few pieces of detail
to the rubric to make the purpose/audience and citation requirements more clear. My students
are still learning how to cite and what a proper citation looks like, so the details are still a bit
general. We use EasyBib to store all of their sources and help with formatting, and Ive found
that EasyBib is really struggling with MLA 8. Youll see that some of the citations look a bit
strange as students were working through the process of making sure all of their information is
correct.

I also added a self-assessment piece to help students think through the strengths and
weakness of their writing and so I could compare their perceptions to those of their peers and
my own ideas about their writing. They did not do a short reflection (as I planned in the design
phase), but focused on reflecting on their writing through the self-assessment instead. Im not
sure that this was as effective as I would have liked, and Im wondering if I should add back in a
reflective piece for the next time I teach this lesson.

I found that one of my biggest obstacles was encouraging students to read my
comments and apply them to their next draft. I didnt structure this as much as I should have;
students were able to view comments as I graded them, and I simply asked them to review
them before completing their annotated bibliography at the end of the research process. I feel
that if I had structured the viewing of comments and application of those comments in a better
way, students would have been more likely to make revisions before turning in the final
annotated bibliography. I appreciate any feedback you have on this!











Sincerely,
















Roxanne

Writing Assignment Design

Rationale/Overview:
Research projects are typically met with a significant amount of dread in my English III
classroom. The research process is often overwhelming for students, and analyzing and
synthesizing a large amount of information from various sources is a task that requires critical
thinking skills, patience, and enough motivation to continue working through the hard parts. I
find that students often fall into two categories during extended research units: some students
struggle to find enough sources and information during the research process, and others find
information easily but realize in the end that they are still missing information or have sources
that are not actually valuable and/or pertinent to their research topic.

The annotated bibliography assignment that I have created asks students to analyze
their sources at the midpoint of the research process in order to help them understand what
information they have about their topic, what that information actually means, and what
information they will still need to include/find in order to write a well-developed research
paper. Students will also use this assignment to help them adjust their research questions if
needed (to narrow or broaden the topic). After the midpoint of their research, students will add
new sources to their annotated bibliographies to ensure that their research is on track. This
assignment will utilize a writers workshop classroom model where students will review their
peers work and give feedback on both the writing itself and the students conclusions about
the implications of their sources and their conclusions concerning the focus for the remainder
of their research.


Context:

The annotated bibliography assignment will be used in an English III class (high school
sophomores and juniors) as part of the graduation project research unit. Prior to this
assignment, students will have chosen a research topic, written a letter of intent to describe
their learning goals for the topic, and will have received instruction on finding sources, creating
citations for sources, and creating notecards for research notes. Students will begin the
annotated bibliography assignment at the first research check-in (when their research is
approximately halfway complete), will participate in a workshop with their peers to receive
feedback on their annotated bibliographies, and will finish the annotated bibliography at the
end of the research process (when all research notecards and sources are due). The writers
workshop portion will involve the completion of an I notice and I wonder style handout
which students will complete for their peers and then use to inform their revisions and
reflections. This assignment (not including the actual class time spent on research) will take
approximately four class periods (90 minutes blocks).

Common Core Standards
CCSS Writing 11-12:4 Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development,
organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience

CCSS Writing 11-12:5 Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing,

rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on addressing what is most

significant for a specific purpose and audience.

CCSS Writing 11-12:7 Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a
question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the
inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating
understanding of the subject under investigation.

CCSS Writing 11-12:8 Gather relevant information from multiple authoritative print and digital
sources, using advanced searches effectively; assess the strengths and limitations of each
source in terms of the task, purpose, and audience; integrate information into the text
selectively to maintain the flow of ideas, avoiding plagiarism and over-reliance on any one
source and following a standard format for citation.

Annotated Bibliography Assignment Student Instructions

What is an annotated bibliography? An annotated bibliography is a list of the sources that
have been used for research along with a summary, evaluation, and/or reflection of each
source.

What does an annotated bibliography look like and what does it include? Check out this
page from the Purdue Online Writing Lab to see some sample annotated bibliographies. For this
research paper, your annotated bibliography will include:
A summary of the source (1-2 sentences)
A reflection of how the source fits into your research (2-4 sentences)
o Why/how is the information from the source important for your topic?
o How does this information help you answer your research question?
o Does the source lead you to any new ideas for researching your topic? (New
search ideas or source ideas? If so, describe/explain these ideas)

What is required and when is it due? - This assignment is divided into four parts.
Part One Create an annotated bibliography for the first five sources you found for your
research topic. Make sure to include both a summary and a reflection for each of the sources.
You will also write a short reflection (3-4 sentences) about what your preliminary thoughts are
in terms of what information you are missing, if you believe your topic should be
narrowed/broadened, etc Due 10/21

Part Two Participate in a writers workshop to give and receive feedback concerning the
annotated bibliography. Both the writing itself (the clarity, format, etc) of the annotations as
well as the content of the annotations will be reviewed. This part of the assignment will help
you revise your annotations and reflect on what these annotations show you about your
research thus far. The workshop will be held on 10/24.

Part Three After the workshop is complete, write a reflection on what you learned during the
workshop process as well as what your research plan is for the remainder of the research
process. What specific topics do you hope to search from this point forward? Do you need to
change (narrow or broaden) your research question? Reflections are due on 10/25.

Part Four After completing the remainder of your research, you will finish the annotated
bibliography by completing entries for additional sources you found after the writers
workshop. The full annotated bibliography will be submitted on 11/1.

How is this graded? Initial annotated bibliographies and workshop participation are
considered process work and will not be given a formal grade. The final submission for the
assignment will include the initial (partial) annotated bibliography, the workshop
handout/reflection, and the final annotated bibliography. This grade for the assignment will be
based on the following rubric:

cause it. This information is important because it is shows how species can be separated
to form differences. It provides the details about how a species can become

reproductively isolated. The information provided in this source has led me to research
environmental causes for isolation.
Science Buzz. Biological Species Change over Time, Science Museum of Minnesota , http://
www.sciencebuzz.org/kiosks/smm/evolution.
This source provided information about change and how it can occur in species. This
information is important because change is how things occur in nature and is an
important part of modern life. It provides details about how genetic recombination can
occur in all species. The information in this source has led me to research environmental
conditions that change favors.
What Is DNA Replication? Yourgenome.org, The Public Engagement Team, 25 Jan. 2016,
http://www.yourgenome.org/facts/what-is-dna-replication.
This source provided information about DNA and how it replicates. This information is
important because DNA is the foundation for all life. It tells our bodies what to do and
how to do it. This source led me to the research of different genetic diseases caused by
DNA mutations.
What Is Genetic Variation? Yourgenome.org, Public Engagement Team, 4 Feb. 2015, http://
www.yourgenome.org/facts/what-is-genetic-variation.
This source provided information about genetic variation and how it can occur. This
information is important because it is change in the DNA sequence of our genomes.
Changes can cause major differences such as reproductive habits or minor differences
that will most likely go unnoticed. Evolution relies on genetic variation. The information
in this source has led me to further research the causes for some DNA mutations.
