The annotated bibliography is an assignment to be completed in pre.docx
The annotated bibliography is an assignment to be completed in preparation for Essay 3 - the research paper.
Once you have completed your research proposal and settled on a topic for your research paper, it's time to begin conducting research for your paper.
The annotated bibliography helps you keep track of the material you find. It will also allow your instructor to gauge your progress, assess if your sources are appropriate, and determine if you have a basic understanding of MLA documentation.
For this assignment, you will need to submit information about two (2) of your sources - but it is recommended that, for your own purposes, you keep a record for each source you encounter.
At the top of your page, after your MLA heading, please post your topic and focusing question (refer to Unit 3 content notes as needed). Then proceed with the following information for each entry (2 total):
a bibliographic entry for the source according to MLA format
a brief note about how you located the source: did you find this source in person at the library, electronically, or otherwise? what terms did you use to locate the source, etc.
information about the source's author: who is the author? how is the author credible? You may need to do additional research on the author or organization responsible for the source to find out more about him/her/them/it, their credentials, etc. [This information will prove helpful because in your research paper's text, when introducing a source, it is good form to use a signal phrase that introduces the author to add credibility to your argument (as in, "According to John Doe, who is a professor at Harvard University, ...)]
a brief summary of what the source says (main ideas)
a reflection: how do you think you will use this source? How will this source help you support your own argument? How did it shape your own opinion, if at all? What are the source's strengths and weaknesses?
Here is a sample entry:

Statment of claim
Start with an attention-grabbing topic sentence that summarizes the issue. Inform the reader of your point of view and be clear about the topic and viewpoint. Consider your audience and use modal words to engage the reader. Define the topic in the first sentence and support your viewpoint with three examples. Connect to a larger issue using words like "world" or "country" and state your position below a dotted line.
T7 wk8 modality
The document discusses the strength of arguments and persuasiveness of language. It introduces the concept of modality, which refers to the strength of word choices. Words are ranked on a scale of high, medium, and low modality. High modality words like "absolutely" and "definitely" are considered active words that make for a stronger, more convincing argument compared to low modality words like "possibly" and "probably" which are more passive. The document encourages using active words with medium to high modality in expository writing to strengthen arguments and persuade readers.
Inferring cause and effect
The document discusses inferring and cause and effect. It defines inferring as making connections during or after reading based on clues in the text. An example is provided about inferring that clothes were inappropriate for school based on a mother's question and look. Cause and effect are defined as something that makes something happen and something that happens because of something else. Examples of causes and effects are given.
Working out meaning of phrases from context
This document discusses how readers can work out the meaning of unfamiliar words or phrases when reading. It explains that context clues from the surrounding sentences can help determine a word's definition. Readers should look for clues in the same sentence, as well as previous and following sentences. The document encourages readers to approach unfamiliar words like detectives, searching for contextual clues. It provides an example of phrases that are unclear on their own but become clear when read in the full context discussing bees and honey production. The document advises readers to underline unfamiliar words when reading assigned texts and see if class discussion can help explain them using contextual clues.
Evidence
This document discusses different types of evidence that can be used to persuade readers in arguments and persuasive essays. It defines evidence as information that supports claims. There are several types of evidence discussed, including statistical or factual evidence which uses statistics, anecdotal or testimonial evidence from others' experiences, expert evidence from specialists, analogical evidence which compares situations, and examples are provided for each type. The document concludes by highlighting evidence in a sample text about school uniforms and types of evidence that could be used in an argument about school uniforms.
T7 timeless present tense jf
The document discusses the importance of maintaining consistent verb tense when writing. It provides examples of using the past, present, and future verb tenses correctly. It also notes that the present tense is typically used in expository or persuasive writing to strengthen arguments. Writers are advised to check their work to ensure verb tense consistency and use of the present tense where appropriate.
Paragraphs middle
This document provides instructions for writing a paragraph in an exposition text. It outlines 6 steps: 1) Draw boxes to structure the paragraph; 2) Add time connectives; 3) Add topics; 4) Add arguments; 5) Add examples; 6) Finish the paragraphs. As an example, it demonstrates completing the first paragraph about mobile phones causing distraction at school with examples from a study and a student survey. It prompts the reader to finish the other two paragraphs on mobile phones increasing bullying and being expensive.
T7 types of verbs
There are three main types of verbs: action verbs, being verbs, and having verbs. Action verbs express physical actions like run or swim. Being verbs include forms of to be like is, are, was. Having verbs involve forms of to have like has, have, had. Verbs are the most important part of a sentence since they supply the action and make other elements interact.
Subjects and objects
This document discusses identifying the subject and object in sentences. The subject is who or what is performing the verb. To find it, identify the verb first. The object is who or what receives the verb. Several examples are provided to demonstrate finding the subject and object. Students are then prompted to identify the subject and object in sample sentences. The purpose is to teach the concepts of subject and object and have students practice applying these grammar rules.
T7 comparison
The document contains three persuasive texts on different topics that have been cut up and mixed together. The student is asked to reorder the pieces of each text and glue them into their workbook in the correct order. They are then asked to analyze features of persuasive writing like position statements, arguments, and conclusions within the texts.
T7 scanning texts
The document discusses scanning as quickly looking at a text to find specific information rather than reading every word. It provides examples of scanning texts to find how big redfish grow, the names of two British legends mentioned, and information about leaving a house during a bushfire. The document encourages partner challenges where students scan each other's books to find details within a timed period.
T7 comparison
The document contains three persuasive texts on different topics that have been cut up and mixed together. The student is asked to reorder the pieces of each text and glue them into their workbook in the correct order. They are then asked to identify the key components of a persuasive text by highlighting specific parts of two texts.
T7 scaffold ul
The document discusses exposition writing and provides examples of different types of expository writing such as letters, newsletters, definitions, and reports. It also explains that a scaffold provides structure for writing by outlining the key parts needed, including a statement of position, arguments, and concluding statements. The three sections of an exposition writing scaffold are described as the introduction of the writer's viewpoint, arguments supporting their viewpoint, and a conclusion that restates their position without new information.
T7 statement of claim
The document provides guidance on structuring an expository essay. It recommends writing the middle section first, then the opening paragraph or statement of claim, and finally the conclusion. It also provides a template for organizing the essay using three boxes and a dotted line to represent the structure of introducing the topic, providing examples, discussing the larger issue, and stating the argument and position in the linking sentence below.
T7 purpose of exposition
The purpose of this exposition text is to:
Persuade the reader that homework is unnecessary and should be reduced or eliminated. The author argues that research shows time spent on homework does not improve academic performance and infringes on family time. Children would be better served spending their non-school hours pursuing interests, reading for pleasure, or relaxing rather than doing homework. Schools should not interfere with home life without valid evidence that homework provides benefits.
T7 end marks
The document discusses the differences between statements and questions. Statements are sentences that tell or inform the reader about something, do not start with question words, cannot be answered, and end with a period. Questions ask the reader something, start with question words like who, what, when, where, why, how, can be answered, and end with a question mark. The document provides examples of statements and questions and asks the reader to identify whether examples are statements or questions based on these defining characteristics.
T7 nouns
A noun is a person, place, thing or idea. Common nouns are general people, places, things or ideas that do not have capital letters, while proper nouns use specific names that do have capital letters. The document provides examples of common nouns like "farmer" and "school" and proper nouns like "Max" and "Maryborough District Hospital". It then has quizzes to identify whether underlined nouns are common or proper, and find missing capital letters in sentences.
T7 apostrophes
An apostrophe is used to show possession and to indicate where a letter has been removed from a word. It is placed after the possessive noun to indicate something belongs to that noun, such as "Amy's ballet class" or "the Jones' lives." An apostrophe is also used after plural nouns not ending in 's', such as "the parents' bedroom." Other uses include contractions where two words are combined, like "they've" from "they have." The document provides examples of correcting use of apostrophes in a passage about a family and their busy week.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Time connectives
- 1. Time Connectives Exposition Writing
- 2. Time Connectives Time connectives are conjunctions (joins phrases or sentences together)that give us an idea of when something happens. Using connectives can make writing flow better.
- 3. This is a list of time connectives. before, after, until, since, later, earlier, firstly, secondly, thirdly (and so on), finally initially, then, just, then, shortly, afterwards, soon.
- 4. The time connectives we are focussing on are: Firstly Secondly Finally
- 5. Firstly, Secondly, and Finally When we are writing exposition pieces we will be using these time connectives in our arguments because it is a useful way to list ideas. They help us give a structured view of what we are writing.
- 6. Firstly, Secondly, and Finally Its also a good way to keep track of how many arguments we have (first, second, third,.....etc arguments). Once you have advanced in your writing you will be able to use other time connectives that make your writing flow even better.
- 7. Animals in Cages The children and teachers in Kindergarten at Matraville P.S. have been discussing animals in cages. We think they shouldn’t be kept in cages. Firstly, not all animals are dangerous. A pet cat likes people and it wouldn’t hurt you. Secondly, there isn’t enough room for the animals to run around. They would get bored and it would be bad for their muscles. Finally, the animals have to be fed by the keeper and they don’t know how to feed themselves, how to find their food and how to hunt.
- 8. Practise using time connectives. Pretend your writing an exposition piece on why dogs are better than cats. Think of three viewpoints for the argument section for this topic and using the time connectives firstly, secondly and finally write them down. (Remember each viewpoint is a new paragraph).
