PART 2: ANNOTATED BIOBLIOGRAPHY
Required ResourcesRead/review the following resources for this activity:
· Minimum of 8 scholarly resources
IntroductionYou will work on a research project for the duration of this course that you will deliver as a presentation. Here is a brief breakdown of the project so that you can plan your time in the course:
Week | Task |
Week 3 | Topic Selection |
Week 5 | Annotated Bibliography |
Week 6 | Script |
Week 8 | Presentation |
InstructionsNow that you have selected a topic for your final presentation, this week you will need to construct your annotated bibliography using APA style. For this assignment, you need to select a minimum of 8 sources that you plan on using for your presentation and then construct the annotations for each source. The concept of constructing a bibliography is certainly not new for most students, but you may not be as comfortable adding annotations to the bibliography entries.
After you select a source and reference it in APA format, construct the annotation for the source. The annotation is really just answering a few questions about the sources itself and once you answer these questions this part of the assignment almost creates itself. Answer the following 6 questions for each source:
1. Main purpose of the source
2. Intended audience for the source
3. Relevance to your topic (or explain why it was not relevant to your topic)
4. Author's background and credibility
5. Author's conclusions or observations
6. Your conclusions or observations
Writing Requirements (APA format)
· Length: 3-5 pages (not including title page or references page)
· 1-inch margins
· Double spaced
· 12-point Times New Roman font
· Title page
· References page (minimum of 8 scholarly sources)
GradingThis activity will be graded using the W5 Course Project Grading Rubric.

PART 3: Presentation Script
Required ResourcesRead/review the following resources for this activity:
· Minimum of 8 scholarly resources (These are from the Week 5 Annotated Bibliography. Conduct additional research as needed.)
IntroductionYou will work on a research project for the duration of this course that you will deliver as a presentation. Here is a brief breakdown of the project so that you can plan your time in the course:
Week | Task |
Week 3 | Topic Selection |
Week 5 | Annotated Bibliography |
Week 6 | Script |
Week 8 | Presentation |
InstructionsThe next step in the course project is to develop a script that you will use to record the narration for your presentation. Include headings for the slide number. Your final presentation should have 5-8 slides (not including title slide, conclusion slide, or references slide). Here are a few tips:
· Address all requirements for the content.
· Balance the amount of content for each slide. If there is too much content on one slide, try to break it up into two slides or consider where you can be more concise with your wording.
· Include citations where needed (e.g., quoted material and paraphrased/summarized ideas from a source that are not common knowledge). Note: When you get to the recording phase – you will need to read your in-text citations aloud, but you do not need to read your references slide.
Looking AheadPractice reading their script now so that you will be ready to record by Week 8. You may use PowerPoint or another method (mp4 file) approved by your instructor.
