If you get me a good grade, you will get to do the FINAL as well. This is a preliminary assignment for the final
Annotated Bibliography
An annotated bibliography begins the preliminary research process. The document will serve as an ongoing list of sources that will support your Final Research Paper. Each of the sources should be cited in APA format and should include a two-paragraph summary, or annotation, of the resource contents and how you intend to use the information within your paper. Before beginning, please review the Model Annotated Bibliography.
To fulfill the research component of this assignment, you must:
- Select at least five scholarly peer-reviewed sources from your library search that support the topics and arguments you plan to present in your Final Research Paper.
To fulfill the written component of this assignment, you must:
- Include a title page that is formatted in proper APA style.
- List APA-style references in alphabetical order along with your unique paragraph summaries.
- Annotation paragraphs must be original and cannot be copied from abstracts or other summaries. Copied-and-pasted annotations may receive a zero grade. Your annotated bibliography should be double-spaced with one-inch margins and use 12-point Times New Roman font.
Your annotations should contain
- A complete summary, in your own words, of the information presented in the article.
- Your analysis of the best use of this information in your paper, written in your own words.
- Identification of a possible topic sentence and/or claim the information will support.
TOPIC: More women are being encouraged to participate in prenatal genetic testing during their first trimester. However, there is much debate about whether prenatal genetic testing is appropriate for all pregnant women due to the occurrence of misleading results and future privacy concerns for the child. Research the literature from the last five years and develop an argument regarding the use of genetic screening.
Argue whether prenatal genetic testing should be a part of all prenatal care or if it should be reserved for those with preexisting conditions and/or high risk pregnancies.
