Developing a Annotated Bibliography

Quote: We are not trying to teach writing. We are trying to teach people how to be writers. Marjorie Frank (with modification)

Wonderful! You have successfully completed Tasks 1 and 2! Task 3 asks you to develop an annotated bibliography of books that you recommend for adult learners. Read the following article to understand the importance of reading aloud to ALL ages of learners: http://www.education-world.com/a_curr/curr081.shtml

Based on Reading Aloud and Beyond (Serifine & Giorgis, 2003) develop an annotated bibliography of at least

	20 picture books,
	10 chapter books, and
	5 poetry books (collections or single poem)

All books must be of appropriate interest levels for adult literacy learners. Our text (Reading Aloud and Beyond) gives many good examples of quality literature appropriate for read alouds for adults. Your focus is on books that you would use for reading aloud to adult learners - these may be books that they would or would not be able to read independently. Pleasure, cleverness and appropriateness of interest to adults are key factors to developing an exemplary bibliography. Please include quality literature from several genres (information, poetry, bibliographies, autobiographies, fiction, historical fiction, fantasy, tall tales, folk tales, etc.) To annotate the literature, please include the following in this format:

Author last name, author first (and possibly middle) initial. (year of publication). Title of book (in italics). Place of publication: Publishing Company. Example follows:

Petty, P. (2003). How to annotate using APA. Bowing Green: WKU Publishing.

(Here is a webpage developed by a LTCY 420 student that shows a bibliography: http://www.wku.edu/~kristy.mattingly/bib.htm.)

Follow each bibliographic entry with an annotation that includes a minimum of:

	1 sentence that tells what the book is about
	1 sentence that tells why you think this would be a good piece of literature for adults
	1 sentence that tells how you would link this book to current instruction or discussions with your students

You should provide a copy of your bibliography for EACH person in our class so that everyone will leave with dozens of book recommendations and ideas for how those books would be used with adult learners.

WHAT DO I TURN IN FOR TASK 3?
