Writing Assignment #2: Reflective Annotated Bibliography Writing Assignment #2 will be a reflective annotated bibliography of 5-6 sources. Organization for the Reflective Annotated Bibliography In this assignment you will 1. find 5-6 articles on a theme related to technology. 2. list each article in alphabetical order in APA format. In other words, you will list each on as an APA reference. 3. write a précis, a vocabulary section, a reflection, and a quotables section after each listing. More details that explain each of these sections are provided below. The Four Sections for Each Annotation Part 1: The Précis: In this section, you will provide a descriptive summary of the material. To observe a video tutorial that takes you through the process of summarizing an article in a descriptive manner, click here. You will want to include the author’s main claim in the article as well as any sub-claims. In addition, please include the types of evidence the author uses to support this claim, including what data/facts/evidence the author uses to justify the claims of the article. Finally, you will want to mention the interpretations that this author arrives at through the claims and evidence and the points or conclusions she presents. You may use the first-person point of view (“I”) in your précis. Your précis for each article should be 100-150 words. Part 2: Vocabulary: In this section, you will select key terms that were used in the article or words with which you were unfamiliar. You don’t need to include definitions of these terms; however, you should look up their definitions for your own benefit. You should come up with 5-10 vocabulary terms for each article. Part 3: Reflection: In this section, you will describe your opinion about what the author has stated in the article. Please state whether you agree, disagree, or agree on some points and disagree on others. You can mention any criticisms, questions, or comments you have on the author’s methods of research. In addition, include any unanswered questions you have as a result of having read the article carefully. Include items or concepts that you do not understand, information you would need to have in order to better understand the article, etc. You will, of course, use the first-person point of view (“I”) in this part of the reflective annotated bibliography. Your reflection section for each article should be 100-150 words. Part 4: Quotables: In this section, you will insert direct quotations from the article that you feel exemplify its claims or interpretations. You can also include sentences in which the author stated his or her claims exceptionally well. Please include page number(s) where you found the quotes. Moreover, please place quotation marks around the chosen phrase and make sure you cite the phrase verbatim. Your quotables section for each article should contain 4-8 quotes. More Resources on Writing an Annotated Bibliography The following are some links to sample Annotated Bibliographies.

THE EFFECT OF TECHNOLOGY ON COMMUNICATION

The Effect of Technology on Communication
Drago, E. (2015).The Effect of Technology on Face-to-Face Communication. The Elon Journal
of Undergraduate Research in Communications, 6(1), Spring 2015. 13-19.
Précis: Through the analysis of previous studies, field observations, and an online survey, the
effect that technology has had on the face-to-face communication of the participants. The
researcher aimed to research the level of engagement into technology and how it affects their
communication skills. The use of cell phones was seen as causing negative effects on the face to
face communication. Despite having the negative effect, 62 percent of people who knew about
the effects still used mobile phones in the presence of others. The researcher points towards the
idea that technology has led to the degeneration of communication techniques in its users.
Vocabulary: face-to-face communication, awareness, digital communications, volunteer sample,
convenience sample
Reflection:
This researcher goes to length to prove that face-to-face communication has been on the decline
due to technology. The research methodology used is exploratory, and thus it serves as an
efficient method for this study. The findings state that despite the knowledge of adverse effects
of technology on face-to-face communications, the majority of technology users consistently
replace their face-to-face communication with technology-mediated communication. I agree with
the claim of addiction but also fault the researcher for failing to identify the critical role that
technology has taken in the modern communicative world. There is a growing need for faster and
more efficient communication thus researchers must identify its place in the society.

Quotables: 1. Despite individuals’ awareness of the decrease of face-to-face communication as a
result of technology, more than 62% of individuals observed on Elon’s campus continue to use
mobile devices in the presence of others.
2. Little by little, technology has become an integral part of the way that people communicate
with one another and has increasingly taken the place of face-to-face communication.
3. The author found that 38 of 100 students (38%) while with...
