Suicide/Suicide Prevention

  Suicide/Suicide Prevention   : Although this annotated bibliography counts as an essay grade, you are NOT drafting a traditional essay for this assignment. Instead, your document should look very similar to the sample provided to you on the main page - just using different sources that are appropriate to the assigned topic. This assignment is nothing more than a list of four sources cited in MLA format and then summarized. In order to prepare this annotated bibliography, you will first need to locate four reference works that relate to the contemporary topic of Suicide/Suicide Prevention, the topic that you collectively chose for the final segment of the course. To ensure that you fully develop your research skills while completing this project, you will be required to provide sources from a variety of media. At least one of the four entries must be a book; the rest should be derived from periodicals (journals, magazines, newspapers, etc.) and/or other books. Finally, NONE of these sources can be Internet-only publications. NOTE: Periodical articles found on databases - see the Illustrated Guide to Databases – are NOT considered Internet-only sources and are completely acceptable for purposes of this assignment. It will be necessary for you to obtain full-text versions of these resources, read them and then summarize them in an annotated bibliography format. Essentially, this is a works cited page – in Modern Language Association (MLA) format – that also includes approximately five to nine sentences summarizing each of the articles. For MLA documentation guidelines, please refer to The Little Seagull Handbook, pages 119-69. To further assist you in properly formatting this bibliography, you will also find four samples of cited and annotated entries (on a topic that differs from yours) on the sample annotated bibliography posted on the course site. Remember, this assignment is worth 20% of your overall grade. Since so much of your grade on this assignment depends upon properly following the MLA formatting guidelines – which can be a little tricky – you will be required to submit a rough draft of this annotated bibliography to me for review via eThink. In order to allow me enough time to provide you corrections and feedback before the final is due, you must submit the rough draft by uploading it to this link here no later than Monday, November 27, before midnight. Submitting this draft is worth one short assignment grade, and if you fail to submit it, I will NOT accept the final draft. You need not, however, have the annotations (summaries) included on this draft – only the citations. That is all that I will review. The final draft of your annotated bibliography – which must include the annotations at that point
