sources sources and more sources!

So we found our topic for the semester, and it seams the easy part of the assignment is over. Now begins the part of the essay that we all seem to find most, "dreary," the research. Last class we had to try and find 10 sources on our topic and post them, well you'd be surprised how difficult it is to search for information on a more general topic then it is on a more specific topic. It is usually true that the easiest sources to find are always the internet sources, due to the fact our generation was born with "search engine" tattooed to our fore heads, and of course, book sources are usually the hardest to find since your never sure of any source you reach due to the fact you need to read the book first before you know if its a helpful source or not. Being more specific will definately make searching for sources a lot easier, like instead of putting human relationships in the search engine try typing in student/teacher relationships. usually you'll get closer to the type of information your trying to get if your more specific on what you want.

An annotation is basically the summary of information that the reader can write either formally or informally to educate the next reader on what the information is basically about. An annotation usually includes 1 or 2 details on the reading and a summary on the information displayed in the reading as well. Annotations usually are a few sentences long.
