Annoted Biblography Article #2

West, Anne, & John Hunter. "Parents view on mixed and single-sex secondary schools." British Educational Research Journal 19.4 (1993): 369.

This is somewhat crediable. I founde information on only one author. Anne West has cowrote a book called Choosing Secondary Schools. It is about choosing weather or not to send your child to a same-sex school or a mixed sex school.

Annoted Biblography Article #1

Tsolidis, Georgina, & Ian R. Dobson. "Single sex schooling: Is it simply a ‘class act’.” Gender and Education(2006): 213-228.


This is a very crediable source. While looking on the internet, I came across a few articles by both of the authors. They Both had to do with education . Also while look I found out that Georgina Tsolidis has written and co-written book about same sex education. Georgina is also an expert in gender and schooling. Both of the authors have written in many journals. This is a very acrediable source.

Response to reading chapter 1

I think I will learn how to summarize personal writings, tables, and how to use quotes. I think the chapter will show me the differences between paraphrasing and summarizing. It will also show me some easy ways to answer questions using my summary. Also it will teach me how to write a decent summary.

After reading the chapter, I found that I was mostly right in my expectations. One of the things that I didn't expect, but that appeared in Chapter 1 was that were in the chapter was a discussion of plagerism and advise on how to avoid it. One topic that I expected, but didn't turn up was how to answer questions based on my summaries. The only information that I found useful was how to avoid plagiarizing.
