English 10: Difficulty into Activism: Annotated Bib

Notecard Reminders: 

• You need at least one notecard (clearly titled) for each of the following:

•  Background on your person

•  What they faced (traumatic events or adversities)

•  Thier advocacy work

•  Their organizational involvement

•  Their impact or legacy

Source Reminders:

You need at least three sources, with one being a database and one being a website. The third is of your choice.

•  One database

•  One website (that you’ve used SIFT on)-- remember to use lateral reading and:

  • Google the author

  • Google the website and look at their Wikipedia page

•  One source of your choice

When searching and garnering many results:

• Read the titles

• Read any blurbs

• Do those two things automatically count some out?

• If there are still many results, either consider changing the time frame and making it more recent and/or making your search term more specific

How to decide if the source is one you want to use:

• Read the first paragraph

• Read any headings

• Read the last paragraph

• It will be one of the following:

  • Solid - you're going to read it all or most of it and most likely use it

  • Unsure, but possible - you're going to save the link for just in case and see if there's something better

  • Absolutely not - great, you haven't blown a whole lot of time - find a new option
