Using the internet in your bibliography

Hi All,
Miriam called me and asked how to use/annotate a website in her bibliography. She has a news article online she wants to use.

Below is the link to the BBC news article
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2331113.stm
If you were to use the information from this article, the annotated Bibliography would look like this:


Primary Resource
“Chemists Honour Sherlock Holmes”, BBC News, Article by Christine McGourty, Oct 13, 2002, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2331113.stm
This article declares recognition of Sherlock Holmes’s forensic methods by the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Your annotated Bibliography should have three sections:

Primary Resources:
(each source listed in alphabetical order)

Primary Resources from Secondary Resources (this is like getting a picture out of a biography)
(each source listed in alphabetical order)

Secondary Resources:
(Resources listed in alphabetical order)

If you have more than one page, you should have your pages numbered. Also, please have the title on all pages up in the header just in case pages get separated.

One last note is that you NEED 3-5 copies of your process paper and your bibliography for competition. This way, each judge (and ideally, you) have a copy. Always bring LOTS more than you need in case of disaster! (spills and such)

Update of assignments ASAP

Hi guys,
I am printing off your paragraphs for the expo, so, for those of you to whom I sent editing directions, please complete the updates and return them to me. :-) If you already sent me your updated "Why" paragraph, then don't worry about it.

Okay, I also need e-mailed versions of everyone's biographies. I'm not going for absolute perfection. I'll even label them as "rough drafts", so..no worries.

For those of you who have changed your projects, just put together the best you can. Everyone has to start somewhere. :-)

Anyone who has questions can call me at 651-5049 (home) or my cell at 247-8992. Please feel free to do so.

You've all done excellent work so far! The Pre-regionals will be....
Either the Last week of January or the first week of February.

Also, at the pre-regional, there will be a separate exhibition of just students' history "stuff". For those of you who may not wish to compete, this would be a good alternative.

UPDATED ASSIGNMENT LIST

After some consideration, I've decided to revamp your assignment list.

Some of you received e-mails back from me with suggestions for your paragraph. If you did, please have the new one ready by this Friday. Oct 24th

Your rough draft Biography is due next Friday Oct 31st

Your "list of resources" (ie..bibliography) will be due Nov. 7th in time for the Expo.

This will give each of you time to do a little more reading on your person, to collaborate if you are on a team and by the time of Expo, you'll have most of your raw materials for your project pulled together.

Have a great week!
Mrs. Gayer

Assignments!

Okay folks,
By cob (close of business) tomorrow, your paragraph on "why" you picked your topic is due.

The main theme of the paragraph should tell a perfect stranger why you selected your "person". It should say why, of all the people in the world, you thought this person was interesting enough to devote months of research into their lives. What is it about this person that is interesting to you, and why do you think this person could be interesting to others.

I plan on posting everyone's paragraphs on the blog, but don't worry, I'll do any necessary copy-editing for grammar and spelling.

Mrs. Gayer

I didn't know this was a possibility.....yikes!

A Nigerian father has taken his “lazy” 20-year-old son to an Islamic court for refusing to participate in productive activities, asking that he be imprisoned, the state news agency NAN said Friday, Reuters reported.
"He is not listening to words and he is bringing shame to my family,” Sama'ila Tahir, a market trader, told NAN. “I am tired of his nefarious deeds. Please put this boy in prison so that I can be free."
Tahir claims his son dropped out of school and is in a gang, Reuters reported.
Siding with Tahir, the court sentenced the young man to six months in prison and 30 strokes of the cane for being disobedient.

Research, Research...Focus

Hey, everyone!

I heard your general information presentations went quite well. Congratulations!

For this week, I need each of you to bring in ALL your materials, references, ideas for project, etc. I am going to sit with each of you (As there are 6 projects, that comes to 10 min each). We will disucss a roadmap to where you want to take your project, what you plan on doing.

Rough drafts of all projects will be due by Expo. They don't have to be completely perfected, but they must be "good".

While I am talking with each person, the others are to be reading, discussing their projects with each other and getting ideas, critiques, etc..

We will do a lot of this between now and the end of co-op.

Mrs. Gayer
