Sample: Henderson, Harry. Perspectives and Issues. Power of the News Media. New York: Facts on File, 2004. Student Resources in Context. Web. 13 Nov. 2014. Summary: Henderson discusses how difficult it is now to determine what information really matters because of the way the news floods us with current events and makes them all seem equally significant. He also explores how the requirements of reporting are changing because of the Internet. There are so many ways the average person can try to convince the public, thanks to technology like this. There is so much news coverage that businesses and important people hire public relations experts to try to control it. Henderson basically says that people cant just sit back and hope the media will treat them right. Evaluation (your opinions): I think Henderson is absolutely correct about the news. Its no wonder that many people today care more about what the Kardashians are doing than what is going on in the Middle Eastafter all, the news gives them equal attention. He is also right about what the Internet has done to reporting. Reporting seems to have become something that anybody with a blog can do, whether they are qualified to comment on current events or not. I could use those ideas and the fact that there are public relations experts (for handling the media) to support a thesis that the media is an octopus with way too many tentacles for us to ever expect it to be free of problems. Its the nature of the beast.

Its the nature of the beast. You will do this 5-7 times, each with a different article. We have 4 days on the computer, so youll have to do more than one summary and evaluation per day.

Slide 5

Step-by-step 1) You are going to add annotations to the bibliography you already created. Go to your Google Drive and open your Google Doc of your Working Bibliography. 2) Once it is open, click on File in the top left, and then choose Make a copy. A window will pop up that says, Enter new document name. Type in Annotated Bibliography, and click OK. 3) Once the new copy is open, go to the top left corner and type your name. Then change the title to Annotated Bibliography. CAUTION: Follow these instructions carefully! Turnitin.com will tell me if all you did was copy sentences from your articles!

Slide 6

Step-by-step 4) You should have 10 sources listed. You are going to write summaries and evaluations of 5-7 of them. 5) Get out the printout of the article you want to start with. If you didnt print the article yet, find it on your Google Drive. Read the article and underline (or highlight on the computer) the sentences that seem to be the main ideas, similar to how it is done here (next slide) CAUTION: Follow these instructions carefully! Turnitin.com will tell me if all you did was copy sentences from your articles!

Slide 7

Sample Article with Main Ideas Underlined:

Slide 8

Step-by-step 6) Go to your Annotated Bibliography Google Doc. Find the citation for the article you just read and put the cursor underneath it. 7) Type a summary of that article. Make it at least 100 words long (usually about 5-7 sentences). Here is how to summarize the article without plagiarizing it: - You are NOT simply copying the main ideas you underlinedyou must word them in a different way. - Read the first main idea you underlined. - Look away from the article. Then write what you remember in your own words. - Then compare your version with the original to make sure youve changed the words and their order, so that you are giving the same information but in alternative style (like retelling a story your own way). - Do the same thing with the second, third, etc. main ideas that you underlined on the article. If you compare the underlined sentences in the sample article (previous slide) with the sample summary (green slide), that will give you an idea of how it is done. - Remember, you do NOT have to change words like numbers, dates, names of people, companies, organizations, cities, countries, or other proper nouns, names of religions, races, species, titles of books, films, or albums. Follow these instructions carefully! I can tell if all you did was copy sentences from your articles! If Turnitin.com doesnt catch it, I will!

Slide 9

Step-by-step 8) Underneath your summary paragraph, write a 100-word evaluation (your opinions) of the article. Make the evaluation a separate paragraph. When writing it, consider these questions: - Do you agree with the author? Why? - What are your opinions about the information presented? - How has this article changed how you think about your topic? - Does the author seem biased or overly emotional about the topic? How? - Is the information reliable? Why or why not? - What seems to be the goal of this article? - How could you use this article in your paper? (Could you use it as evidence to support your opinion? Or could you use it as an example of the opposing viewpoint for you to argue with? How?) - How does this article compare with your other sources? (Do they complement one another or reach different conclusions? How?) The sample evaluation on the green slide will give you an idea of how it is done. Follow these instructions carefully! I can tell if all you did was copy sentences from your articles! If Turnitin.com doesnt catch it, I will!

Slide 10

Step-by-step 9) Repeat the steps above until you have a summary and evaluation underneath 5-7 of the source citations on your list. Thats a total of 10-14 paragraphs. Max. grade for 5 summaries/evaluations = 80% Max. grade for 6 summaries/evaluations = 90% Max. grade for 7 summaries/evaluations = 100% Max. means your grade could be less than that if you dont follow the directions correctly. Your Annotated Bibliography will be saved to your Google Drive, but also back up your files in another location EVERY DAY. Never put all your eggs in one basket when it comes to technology. Glitches happen. Back up your files by emailing them to yourself or saving them to your own flash/thumb drive (they are cheap! $5). Lost files are not an excuse to miss deadlines because Im warning you to back up files in another location.

Step-by-step Checking for Plagiarism It may take 15 minutes or more for your originality report to be accessible. You may have to logout and check back later (to login again: go to turnitin.com, type in the email used above, and type in your password from above). 22) Find your class period on the list, and click on the colored box next to the % number. 23) Your originality report will come up. 24) The % number is the percentage of your paper that Turnitin.com thinks is plagiarized. Dont worry about the % numberwhat matters is what Turnitin highlighted in your essay: a. Parts that Turnitin thinks are plagiarized will be highlighted and given a number. b. The numbers correspond to the column on the right, which contains links to sites that have those same words. c. Click on those links and compare your words to the sources words. d. Ignore highlighted names, titles, numbers, and things in quotation marks. Instead, focus on the highlighted regular nouns and verbs because those are the parts that will need to be re-worded (see next slide)

Slide 15

Step-by-step e. Open your Google document of your Annotated Bibliography and re- word the necessary parts, so they are true summaries that dont use the same words as the article. f. Some links wont give you access because sometimes the source is a student from somewhere else in the country and his/her paper coincidentally uses some of the same words as you; Turnitin wont let you see his/her paper. 25) After you have fixed the plagiarized parts of your essay, re-submit it to Turnitin (see next slide). 26) Warning: I can tell if you plagiarized even if Turnitin.com doesnt catch it! I only use Turnitin.com as a tool. If it says you didnt plagiarize, but you actually did, I will still catch it myself. Just because you did Turnitin, that doesnt mean you cant still be penalized for plagiarism.
