This second writing assignment you will be building on your first paper. This assignment is a combination annotated bibliography that must include a minimum of six peer-reviewed research articles. Any authoritative websites you may want to include are in addition to the six required peer-reviewed articles. These articles should be identified through your own research (beyond any assigned articles) on the social problem you identified in your first paper. This annotated bibliography will help you write a full research paper you will be assigned in SWK 501 in the spring.
Requirements:
1. Follow standard APA 7th edition formatting
2. Follow the general format for each article:
• 5 – 7 sentences summarizing the key points and details of the article
• 2-3 sentences evaluating why this source is reliable (identify any biases too)
• 1-2 sentences explaining why this source is useful to understanding your social problem (you may want to refer back to your theoretical lens for analyzing this social problem)
• Correct citation
3. Include a minimum of four articles which:
• Discuss the important changes in how your social problem has been viewed throughout at least two different time eras (eg. Colonial Era, Reconstruction, Progressive Era, Great Depression, New Deal Eras, WWII and Prosperity, Civil Rights Era, Conservative Response), which are covered by this class.
• Consider focusing on how the perspective, political view, or philosophy/ideology of this problem has changed. Or how have the values attached to it (and your target population) changed?
4. Include a minimum of two articles that detail a current policy regarding your social problem. This could be at the local, state, or federal levels, but must be in current use.
5. Edit for correct spelling and grammar.
