Thursday, February 9 | Annotations

DO NOW: RESEARCH MODEL SIGN UP
It is expected that by the end of the 4-week research period, you have presented one of the research tools you used and discussed it's value to your project and extensions for other people to use similar types of evidence. These presentations are no more than 3 minutes long. 
  • Your P-Block advisor will have shared a calendar with you. Please comment with your name on the date you would like to present. 
  • Please make sure there are no more then 3 people on each day for sake of time. 


DO NEXT: CREATIVE HUNT
  • Independently read the student example of an annotated bib. You do not have to read all of them, but you should select at least 2 to observe and analyze for patterns.  
    • What is the overall purpose of the annotation? Who is the audience?
    • What are the parts within the annotation?
    • What are the purposes of each part?
    • What is unique about what the author wrote?


GROUP DISCUSSION: CREATIVE HUNT
  • Share out observations and thinking (please document for later reference)
  • If questions arise, please email Addie for clarification


STUDIO TIME: ANNOTATIONS
Students should have completed their proposal revisions and their initial research by today. The focus of studio time today is to use reasoning and interpreting skills to create annotations for the sources used during research thus far. Students should have at least 3 sources annotated by the end of the week. 
  • Set your SMART goal in the space determined by your advisor. 
  • Share out your goal with the group (so we can hold each other accountable).
  • Write quality annotations per the model and the Humanities site.
  • Reflect on your goal.
Annotation reminder: Please use a Google Doc to write your annotations before adding them to Easybib. This will prevent the lose of thinking and writing in case of an automatic refresh. REMEMBER TO SAVE YOUR ANNOTATION BEFORE CLOSING EASYBIB!


CLOSING: WORD. PHRASE. SENTENCE.
Share out 1 word, phrase, or sentence you wrote today in an annotation that you think is unique, creative, or interesting. 


Looking into the future: 
Tomorrow we will craft our driving questions. It is also the day your first research check-point is due. Your advisors will be assessing your habits of wondering and observing over the last week of research phase.
