Conference Session Paper # NOTE: PASTE IN YOUR ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY Paste your Annotated Bibliography onto a separate page (or pages) after the end of your Outline. You do not need to revise or reformat your Annotated Bib., simply paste it in, as is. WHAT MUST THE REFERENCES AND ADDITIONAL RESOURCES SECTIONS INCLUDE Your References section must include full bibliographic information for any sources from which you quote, paraphrase, or summarize in your Outline. You must include these sources in your References section, even if they already appear in your “pasted in” Annotated Bibliography. Sources in your References Section should be listed in order of the corresponding bracketed in-text reference (always beginning with [1]—just as you listed them in your papers last semester. Remember: any graphics (charts, graphs, tables, photos, drawings) or equations taken from a source must be correctly referenced, in text and in your References section. Sources that you have consulted, but from which you have not quoted, paraphrased, or summarized must be included in an Additional Resources section. Again, you must include any sources used, even if they also appear in the “pasted in” Annotated Bibliography. You do not need “annotations” for sources in your Outline’s References and Additional Sources sections. Simply present the full bibliographic information according to the usual formatting specifications, found in the “Guide to Help You With Listing Your References Research Guide” on the 0012 Conference Information page and the “Guide on How to Present References” on the 0011 Writing Projects page. Information in your Additional Resources section must be listed according to these same specifications, except in alphabetical order by the author’s last name, rather than by bracketed number.

OUTLINE F.A.Q. Q. May we revise our Annotated Bibliography A. No, you may not revise your Annotated Bibliography; however, paying careful attention to your Writing Instructor’s comments on your Bib. will help you understand how to best continue to assess and use sources. The grade on your Annotated Bibliography will also help you see how well you are following instructions and attending to the (always important) details of an assignment. For example, if you did not include all required information in your “Annotations,” (and that information was required because it is important to you and your readers’ understanding of the value and purpose of a source), that missing information might be a sign that you need to give more careful attention to the details and examples of an assignment. Q. Should we revise our Abstract again Which version of our Abstract do we include in the Annotated Outline A. Your Annotated Outline must have an Abstract. You will be revising your Abstract again, since you now have further feedback and experience regarding the best thesis and a prospective “plan of action” for your paper. Thus, your Annotated Outline will have your new, best-so-far Abstract, an Abstract that includes a clear, appropriate thesis and that summarizes how you will proceed through your paper. By the time you are completing your Annotated Outline, you will have a better idea of the topic of your paper and of how you will address all aspects of that topic. This improved understanding of the scope and content of your paper will allow you to write an Abstract that accurately states the topic of the paper and that accurately previews/summarizes what the paper will include. Q. How might this newest revised Abstract (the one we are including in our Annotated Outline) affect our grade A. A revised Abstract within your Outline will not alter the grade your received for your original Abstract or the revision of that Abstract (the revision included with your Annotated Bibliography). However, an excellent Abstract will contribute to and reflect excellence in your Outline, and so will contribute to a good grade on your Outline. Q. How should we use our Annotated Bibliography when composing our Outline A. Your Annotated Bibliography and the continuing research you will be doing should help you know what sources and information you will be using for various sections, explanations, descriptions, and clarifications related to your topic. It will be useful to explicitly state, in your Outline, where (and how) you might include information from particular sources. Q. When we write our actual, full Conference Paper, will sections, headings, and content need to be exactly as they are in our Outline A. The Outline should help you and your readers clearly see the focus and eventual content of your paper. You may continue to revise and refine focus and content as you continue with research and writing. While your Outline should demonstrate substantial work in all these areas, as you continue to investigate and understand your topic, it is entirely possible that you will add sections, add significant areas of information, rearrange the order of sections, change the titles of sections, etc., from Outline to Conference Paper. Q. Should our entire Annotated Bibliography appear in the Outline How should we handle references in our Outline A. As noted in the Outline Assignment, you must include your Annotated Bibliography with your Outline submission. You do not need to reformat your Annotated Bib.—simply cut–and-paste it onto a separate page. If you have consulted new resources since submitting your Annotated Bib. you do not need to add these to your Annotated Bib., but you do need to include these new resources in your Outline’s References or Additional Resources sections. A. Your References and Additional Resources sections, then, will include any sources from your Annotated Bib that you are continuing to use (though you will not include the description/annotation in your References or Additional Sources sections), plus any sources you are using that are “new”—that were not part of your Annotated Bib. A. Your REFERENCES section is the same kind of section you included in last semester’s papers. This section provides full bibliographic information for all in-text references. In-text references are accompanied by bracketed numbers, which correspond to the proper numbered references in your References section. Resources you have consulted, but from which you have not quoted, paraphrased, summarized, or used graphics or equations should appear in your Additional Resources section.
