An annotated bibliography is a list of resources on a particular topic. It includes a bibliographic citation for each resource as well as a brief summary of the authors main argument and the value or relevance of the resource.
Guidelines for Writing an Annotated Bibliography in History
Use the Chicago Manual of Style or a history writing guide such as Rampollas The Pocket Guide to Writing in History to write the citation for your book, journal article or primary document. Both of these citation style guides are available at the MacEwan Library. The Chicago Manual of Style is available in print and online.
Write an annotation for each resource. It must include a summary of the authors main argument as well as information on how the resource is useful to your research.
o To identify the authors main argument read the book or journal article. Pay attention to the introduction, conclusion, chapter titles or main headings of the resource for evidence of the authors thesis.
o Provide a brief description of the value of the source to your research and how it will support your thesis.
The annotation should be brief, one or two paragraphs are sufficient. Use clear and concise language. Avoid vague statements such as this article is important or this book is fascinating instead explain why it is important or fascinating.
Arrange the list of resources alphabetically by authors last name. Use a double space between the citation and annotation.
Sample annotated bibliographic entry
Lamont, Katie Bell. A Prairie Death: influenza, 1918. New York: NYU Press, 2009.
Lamont examines the response of Canadian politicians and medical professionals to the 1918 influenza in Winnipeg. The author investigates the various policies enacted to eradicate and prevent the spread of the virus. This book is a valuable resource for providing a Canadian context to a worldwide epidemic. It also provides insight into how disease was managed in the early 20th century with an emphasis on the impact the influenza had on immigrant populations.
Cultural and Spiritual Diversity
What are the five competencies identified by the American of Colleges of Nursing as essential for graduates to providing culturally competent nursing care?
How can you implement and demonstrate these competencies (you may choose one to focus on) in your nursing practice?
The five competencies are:
1) Apply the knowledge of social and cultural factors that affect nursing and healthcare across multiple contexts.
2) Use relevant data sources and best evidence in providing culturally competent care.
3) Promote achievement of safe and quality outcomes of care for diverse populations.
4) Advocate for social justice, including commitment to the health of vulnerable populations and elimination of health disparities.
5) Participate in continuous cultural competence development.
The textbook I use is Professional Nursing Practice, authors: Blais & Hayes. This is in chapter 21 & 22.

biblical studies. Developing these skills through research and writing is a
time-tested means toward becoming a more competent reader and interpreter of Scripture.
The content essay assignment probes challenging issues by answering the
interpretive questions that rise from the text of Scripture.

Friendship and Peer Acceptance
For this assignment the only sources that you will be needing are videos on children focusing on freidnships and peers. You will need to make OBSERVATIONS FROM THE VIDEOS.
A formal write up takes the key terms from the reading and summary of each topic, lookfor examples in the video reservior. Please note the video name, state the term the behavior is an example of, UNDERLINE OR BOLD SAID TERM and then describe the exampleof the behavior that matched the term. Please DO NOT reiterate the text about the topicJust include terms and examples of behvaior. The expectation is that for most topics you will have 1-1.5 pages of observations and if you run out of observations you can talk about the topic.
Teachers promtp:
In terms of peers, we will be covering two sub-topics: Friendship and Peer acceptance. The book will explain the notion of friendship as a handy playmate, as compared to friendhsip based on trust. During early childhood, children usually base friendship on people playing nicely with them and sharinf. By contrast, during middle childhood they start to use trust as a basis for friendship.
Turning to peer acceptance, the book reading will introduce you to the primary categories pf accepted, rejected, neglected and controversial children, as well as the sub-categories of popular pro-social, popular anti-social, rejected aggressive and rejected withdrawn. I want you to pay special attention to making sure you can distinguish between a rejected withdrawn child and a neglected one. What exactly is the difference? Notice that rejected aggresiive children are often those who become bullies and rejected withdrawnchildren those who become the victims of bullying.

The Fall of the Russian empire (1721-1917)
Below are the detailed instructions for the assignment. I have also attached the Research proposal that is mentioned for referencing back to. I would like for a Rough draft to sent to me with the final product.
Assignment Instructions:
Choose a topic from the list above.
Compose a thesis statement. (see below for more information about thesis statements) You are to write an argumentative work that makes a claim about the primary cause of the empires fall (e.g. The Russian Empire fell because…) and is supported by the facts marshalled in your research.
Conduct research with appropriate academic source material, and compile that information into an annotated bibliography. These sources are the foundation of your paper and part of your Proposal, Annotated Bibliography and Outline for Research Paper assignment. There is a section of the syllabus that details what sources you may use and what you may not use.
Write an outline for your paper. This will serve as the structural guideline for the work, and be part of your Proposal, Annotated Bibliography and Outline for Research Paper assignment.
Write a collegiate level research paper that addresses the assigned aspect of the empire you have chosen to write about. Do not simply recap the major events of the time period. Rather, it is your task to write critically about the subject as determined by your thesis statement. Accordingly, the vast majority of this work should be about the reasons for the chosen empire’s decline and fall, not it’s “rise” and fall. Discussion of its origins and heights should only be present to whatever limited degree is needed for background information.
Review your work carefully, proofreading for grammatical and content errors. You may wish to use Grammarly which is available in the help tab at the top of the page. Your draft paper is due at the end of Week 6 and the final paper is due at the end of Week 8. Submit your approved bibliography with each version of the paper.
Format Requirements
Length: 12-14 pages (3000 to 3500 words). Your paper should be no less than 3000 words exclusive of title page, bibliography, etc. Upper word limit may be exceeded with the permission of the instructor.
Use Common Era style abbreviations (BCE Before Common Era, CE Common Era). This is necessary only when referring to events of the ancient world (before or near the year 0). Examples:
The assassination of Julius Caesar occurred in 44 BCE.
The Great Fire of Rome occurred in 64 CE.
Thesis Statement: Employ an argumentative thesis statement. An argumentative paper makes a claim about a topic and justifies this claim with specific evidence. The claim could be an opinion, an evaluation, a cause-and-effect statement, or an interpretation. The goal of the argumentative paper is to convince the audience that the claim is true based on the evidence provided.
Note: Your thesis statement must have a debatable element. For instance, the statement The Middle East has been torn by conflict for decades is not debatable. On the other hand, the statement The conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians exists primarily because of political rather than religious differences is a clearly debatable statement in which the opposite view could be plausibly argued.
Structure: Consult the Writing Guides for APA (see below) to write a paper with a clear introduction, body and conclusion.
Despite the use of APA, do not write an abstract.
Include a title page.
Use a 12 point conventional (Times New Roman, Calibri, etc.) font, double spaced with a 1-inch margin.
Annotated Bibliography: Include an annotated bibliography with a minimum of five scholarly books and one scholarly journal article. (Note: The journal article may be substituted with a sixth book dependent on subject choice with your instructor’s permission). Construct your bibliography using research from legitimate, academic sources of history. Practically speaking, this means books and academic journals. Do not use materials from non-academic sources – history.com, online encyclopedias, etc. Research is a vital component of this assignment. Do not use any required readings for this course as source material for your paper. Suggested readings from the course may be used.
Cicero’s Ideal Orator
Cicero Ideal Orator (This covers Book I.1–Book II.98) (There is no page minimum or maximum for this assignment but try to keep it under 7 pages)
This covers Ciceros On the Ideal Orator from book 1.1 through book 2.98.
The main discussion about the ideal orator can be found in book 1 sections 1-160. There is more discussion after thistalking about natural abilities versus training and how much one needs to know the law, etc.
**I am not seeking to know your feelings about this topic! Our feelings often vary based on things that happen to/around us. The assignment asks you to build an argument based on what is stated by Cicero in his text.**
For this paper, give Ciceros background and historical context, and write an overview of Ciceros requirements to become an Ideal Orator. Please quote from the text to support your paper’s claims! Cite all outside sources and cite Ciceros book to support your claims–these MUST be cited whether you quote directly or you paraphrase the idea. INCLUDE A Bibliography! Your paper will be graded based on the 5 parts below (in addition to quoting/citing sources and having a bibliography).
5 Part paper: 1. Introduction, 2. Historical background and context of Cicero’s life (this means you need to find out about Cicero as a person during the time he lived/died. 3. Overview of requirements for Ideal Orator, 4. How does the Ideal Orator expectation shape our understanding of persuasion and place demands on the speaker? How would you look differently at a politician or professor or preacher based on these expectations? 5. Conclusion. Worth Up to 50 points.
You cannot receive a grade higher than a C if your paper does not include several quotes (aim for 5 or more) from the assigned readings (this can include some outside, but related, readings) for that assignment. This is not to be punitive but to ensure you have read, are familiar with, and can interpret the readings.
**NOTE you MUST cite all your sources that you use–whether direct quotes or paraphrases!! Give BOTH an in-text citation and put the source in the bibliography at the end of the paper.**
Please be sure to upload this paper either as a Microsoft Word or .pdf document, 12 point font, 1 inch margins, double spaced, and label your document (that you upload) as LASTName_Cicero1.docx (or .pdf). Thank you!
