The PEER Leadership class will be in the Library working on their Literature Review.

Today you will be working on selecting your research topics and looking at different sources for your research. Some of those sources should include….

 

The Virtual Library’s Educator Resources  are used by Teachers when they need to do related research in the field of education. Seems like a solid place to go….. Use the different databases found here and be sure to keep a record of each source as it’ll make citation far easier.

 

The Advanced Placement Source also provides elite-level access to a high-achieving academic database. With access to thousands of peer-reviewed journals and other academically viable sources of research, the AP Source should be used heavily in your research. Passwords for the AP Source can be found in your Student Agenda or on the Learnmarks provided to Homeforms in September.

  • Passwords can be found in your student agenda or on the Learnmarks provided to your Homeform in September.

Another academic source is JSTOR.

Citation

For your annotated bibliography, you will be using the APA school of citation.

Here are some common examples of what that should look like.

The file discussed with the class for easy access can be found here The APA Working File.

Remember to look to OWL @ Purdue for other questions that arise about citation. It’s where Mr. Kosowan or Ms. Vilicic go when we’re looking for information about citation.

In terms of research, we might suggest you use the following sites:

  • The Canadian Encyclopedia houses articles on many famous Canadian leaders and also provides related articles and links too.
  • There are incredibly useful databases found on the Virtual Library site. I’d suggest you look at the Advanced Placement Source.
  • JSTOR provides students with a powerful and easy-to-use database for academic pursuit.
  • The Toronto Star Historic Database, which can be found on the Toronto Public Library’s Website, allows readers to access articles from the newspaper’s archives.

You’re expected to complete a Reference list using APA format. We’ve created a Laurier-friendly primer on citing with APA, so please use this file found at APA Citation PDF.
