Assignment: Annotated Bibliography

To prepare

• Begin by visiting the Walden Library and/or the National Service-Learning Clearinghouse from this week’s Learning Resources.
• Search for peer-reviewed, scholarly articles about service learning.
• Find and analyze 5 articles from the Walden Library or the Clearinghouse website provided in the Learning Resources.

To submit

• Create an annotated bibliography of these five resources.
• You will collect and analyze 20 peer-reviewed articles to define your understanding of service learning and to serve as the foundation for the service learning plan you will build for your Service Learning Strategy Project. (my service learning strategy project is attached named Discussion 7 so peer reviewed articles based on that topic)
• As you complete your annotated bibliography, you must do the following:
• • Include a cover sheet.
  • Use APA conventions.
  • Use the Walden Annotated Bibliography guide and materials presented in the Learning Resources to format the paper.
  • Include a minimum of two and a maximum of three paragraphs per annotation- this is the format each resource needs to be in:
  • Your annotations
    should cover three areas (typically formatted in three
    paragraphs):

  • Summary: What did the author do? Why? What did he/she find?

    Analysis: Was the author’s method sound? What information was
    missing? Is this a scholarly source?

    Application: Does this article fill a gap in literature? How would you
    be able to apply this method/study to your particular study? Is the article
    universal?

  • Notes from professor: Collecting peer-reviewed, scholarly articles,
    which define your understanding of service
    learning.
  • Picking articles
    which will support your Service Learning Project Plan.
  • Establishing a scholarly base of a minimum of 20
    articles.

    specific annotated bibliography formatting standards on the Writing Center’s website. Your annotated
    bibliography will generally consist of a list of reference entries, each with
    an annotation following it.
