Annotated Bibliography Of Power Point Project—-At Least 500 Words

    1. The first semester long project for this course is the project creating a power point presentation on the history of sociology. In this presentation, you will want to address the origins of sociology, the important early theorists and the theories contributed by them, and how sociology as a field of inquiry has evolved and progressed. You are free to add any elements to the power point that you want; video files, web links, audio files, etc.

      Power Point Project Components

       

      Annotated Bibliography:

      • You will also need to create an annotated bibliography of the sources used for your presentation.
      • Each annotated bibliography should contain at least 10 sources in addition to the textbook, and they should be reputable sources; peer reviewed journals or books, education websites, etc.
      • You should not use Wikis as sources, unless they originate from a college or university.
      • In the annotations for each source, you will want to explain why each source is included in the power point, and what information you are including from each source.
      • The annotated bibliography will be submitted through the Power Point Project Annotated Bibliography Assignment in Class Session 6, and the instructor will provide feedback and guidance for the final stage of the group project.

      Refer to the Power Point Project Rubric in the Rubrics folder in the Resources tab for further information on grading requirements.
