Annotated bib

Description

The readings provide students with a sociological foundation for their examination of drugs and society.  For this assignment, students will create their own annotated sociological bibliography based on the readings for the course.  This assignment will allow students to stay on top of their readings and demonstrate that they have engaged with the material by providing a pithy summary (i.e. 75 to 100-word paragraph) of the key sociological issues relating to drugs that emerge for ten of the required readings.

The sociological annotation needs to go beyond a reiteration of the abstract of the article.  Students need to demonstrate that have read and reflected on the article.  The summary should provide an answer the following questions: why was this article included in the reading and how does it relate to a sociological examination of drugs in contemporary Canadian society?  Moreover, the final portion of the annotation will give students a chance to make a contemporary connection to the readings by locating a multimedia resource that connects to each article from the assigned reading list (e.g. movie, television show, news story, YouTube video, documentary, TedTalk, blog, website, social media).

This portion of the annotation needs to include a short-sharp (1 to 3 sentences maximum) explanation of how the supplementary material (the contemporary connection that the student identifies) relates to the subject area of the article.  The annotated bibliography is intended to help students to develop a resource file should they choose to continue academic work in this area.  Each annotation should include a bibliographic link to the multimedia source that each student uncovers in relation to the contemporary link that they identify.  The Annotated Bibliography will have a title page, student number, page numbers and a reference sheet (with ASA formatting).  For the purposes of the assignment, students are only required to complete annotations for ten of the course readings (and any multimedia items reviewed in the second half of the class) up to and including those assigned for 5 August.
