Reflective Paper Prep:(This is not the actual paper. This is just to show preparation. Give a strong introductory statement in which you take a position on your topic b. Thesis: Develop your thesis statement. This will become the point or perspective you will argue or prove in the paper. Please see the Ashford-approved grammar handbook for information on how to develop a solid thesis. c. Annotated Bibliography: For this paper you need to do research in peer-reviewed journals or other journals that are considered to have reliable information (do not use sources from the secular press, i.e. Time, Newsweek, Parent’s Today, or Wikipedia). In addition to the textbook, you need at least two articles from professional scholarly journals and not popular Internet sites (if you do find something on the World Wide Web, it must be authored and be a reliable source). In these journals, the research and information is either reviewed by an editorial team (such as for the Academy of Management Review) or a group of peers (such as in many journals you find through the Ashford University online library). The purpose of the Annotated Bibliography is to assist you in developing research analysis skills including: critical thinking, writing, and literature research skills. The Annotated Bibliography should include the following information for each source: & #167; Name of the article, including the complete bibliographic citation, using APA format. & #167; Summary/abstract of the article – annotation (sometimes it is helpful to ask yourself the following questions in synthesizing the information: - Who? (author) - What was done? (for example, an experimental study investigating the interaction of short term memory and attention) - How? (was it done) - What were the findings? (identify the major ones) - Contributions? (new findings, applications, etc.)
