- Have students write a paper without doing any research. They can make up information and/or write the paper based on what they already know. Direct students not to cite or quote anything.
- Next, students conduct research in order to find sources for an annotated bibliography to accompany their paper. They should find:
- a source that supports a claim/point in the paper they wrote;
- a source that brings a new point to the paper;
- a source that contradicts a point made in the paper;
- and a source that enhances the paper.
- For each source chosen, the annotation should include an explanation of how the chosen source supports, changes, complicates or improves their paper.
