NEW CPP Annotated bibliography

Instructions for Paper #2: Annotated Bibliography Paper Assignment #2: Annotated Bibliography​(Due before 12:00pm noon on February 22, 2024 - 100 pts) 1)​Upload an Annotated Bibliography You must upload an annotated bibliography of all the articles you will be using in your final paper. Just like our other papers, it must be in a WORD document in Times New Roman, 12pt font, and double-spaced. Each article is put in APA style as if it is in a reference list. 2)​Upload a pdf of each of the articles. An annotated bibliography is designed like a reference list, except that under each reference there is a summary of the article and a description of how the article contributes to the construction of your paper. It is important to explain how each article will help you evaluate the juvenile curfew ordinance with Bonham’s (2012) seven criteria. Which of the seven criteria does the article address and how? When you are searching for articles, you must strive to find articles which address the seven criteria, or at least as many as you can. Paper Assignment #2 is the second step in the process of building your Final Policy Paper. Your task is to identify all the scholarly sources which will be used to evaluate the policy, put them in APA style reference list, and then write a short summary of each scholarly work, focusing on the seven criteria. The better job you do on this assignment, the easier your paper will be to write. The link below describes an annotated bibliography: Annotated Bibliographies - Purdue OWL® - Purdue University Your annotated bibliography must have at least 5 peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles which you will use to write your final paper. Only one of your articles can be from a law journal and they must have been published in the 2000s. A good trick for finding additional articles is to look at the reference list of the most recent article or two and see who they are citing. You can also look at their literature review and see which articles they identify as being the most important to read. Each article must be listed in APA style as if it was in a reference page. The WORD document must be 12-point Times New Roman font. You must double-space between each article (reference) and the text following the article. You must single space within the reference (article). Along with your annotated bibliography, you must upload a pdf of each article. A link is not sufficient. You do not need to cite any sources in the text of your paper because the source will be listed directly above your discussion of the article. Late papers will not be accepted. Any late assignment will receive a grade of zero. Grading Criteria All four paper assignments will be graded on mechanics, organization, citation/sources and content. Mechanics • Read the document, Writing Mechanics, in this module. • A paper that has good “mechanics” is free of spelling, grammatical and sentence structure errors. • The sentences are complete with a subject, verb, and object. • The sentences have concrete nouns and action verbs. • The sentences have subject - object agreement. • The sentences are not too long which can lead to run-on sentences. • The sentences do not contain unnecessary breaks with too many or too few commas. • Do not use “this” or “these” as pronouns. • Do not use an apostrophe to make a word or a number plural. • Do not use contractions, abbreviations, or slang. • The sentences contain proper punctuation. I strongly recommend avoiding semi-colons and other advanced punctuation, because they are often used incorrectly which lowers your grade. Also, do not write like many newspaper and magazine articles which often use incomplete sentences for dramatic effect. Organization • The paper uses the organization, headings, and paragraphs required by the instructor. • The paper uses the headings mandated by the instructor with the appropriate information within them. • The paper contains logical paragraph breaks with proper structure, which means that each paragraph begins with a topic sentence, followed by three or more sentences supporting the topic sentence. Citation/Sources • The paper has five peer-reviewed articles on the policy with no more than one of them from a law journal. • The articles are the most recent available and none are published before 1991. • Bonham (2012) is properly cited in the reference page. • All the sources meet the instructors’ requirements. • Proper citation means using proper citation both in-text and in the reference page (in APA style) as described in the document, “How to Create an APA Reference List and put Citations in your Paper.” Any deviation from these guidelines will lower your grade. • Every source (article) that you use in your paper must be in your reference list. • Every reference in your list must be cited in the text of your paper. • Every thought, idea, or piece of information in your paper must be cited in the text of the paper. • Every paragraph should have at least one in-text citation except for the introduction and conclusion. • Does not use quotes. Content • Each article is uploaded into Canvas in a pdf format. • The paper follows the directions and outline provided by the instructor. • The paper accurately defines each of Bonham’s (2012) seven criteria and discusses whether the policy meets or does not meet each one of them. • The paper fulfills all the requirements of the assignment by providing the information requested in a clear, coherent, and logical manner. • The paper includes a full discussion under each of the required headings. • A paper that has good content addresses all aspects of the assignment, has fully developed ideas, uses description and analysis correctly and appropriately, demonstrates critical thinking and uses appropriate sources. • The paper has the proper number of pages and does not try to extend the pages by constantly repeating itself or adding extra spaces. • The paper contains at least five refereed journal articles. • The paper’s analysis and recommendations are logically based on the empirical evidence of the research. The paper does not rely on the author’s beliefs, which are often based on feelings, personal experiences, and media myths. • The paper makes full use of the empirical evidence in the research. Some general advice on mechanics and organization • Keep it simple - use short, easy to write sentences and words you know. • Do not try to use big, fancy, or complicated words and phrases – they only cause confusion and make the writer look silly. • Avoid pronouns – they cause confusion and make your message vague and less clear. • Be clear, specific, and precise. • Frequent proof-reading is the best way to avoid these mistakes. I recommend having someone else read the paper out loud to you – if it doesn’t sound right, it probably is not.
