\n Bibliography and Biography handout –\u00a0Bibliography and Biography Handout<\/a><\/p>\nLesson Directions<\/h4>\n
Anticipatory Set\/Hook<\/h5>\n
Instruction<\/h5>\n
\n o A bibliography (like the one shown as an example in the last class–show again) is required with the casebook. A bibliography is always in alphabetical order. A bibliography is the final page in a document. Every item and\/or reference that is included in the casebook must be bibliographed. Pass out a copy of theBibliography Examples handout to each student. [Included]
\n o Steps for creating a bibliography [demonstrate an example during the discussion using the clip shown at the beginning of class; hand out a copy of the steps to each student]:
\n Keeping a record of possible sources:
\n o Copy and paste (or write down) all internet and other sources into a document labeled (Play Title): Dramaturgical Research
\n \u00b7 Include the title, author, and the link if it is an internet source, as labels for each item on this list.
\n \u00b7 Example: Copy the name of the clip and paste it onto a document labeled (Play Title): Dramaturgical Research.
\n \u00b7 Copy and paste the web address next to the title.
\n \u00a7 Note: Also write both the title and the web address on the board for those who choose to keep their resource record by hand.
\n Making a bibliography:
\n o Using a free website such as BibMe\u00a0http:\/\/www.bibme.org\/<\/a> or EasyBib http:\/\/www.easybib.com\/<\/a>, insert the title of the resource into the space provided on the web page.
\n o Example [talk the students through the example while demonstrating the following]:
\n \u00b7 Open BibMe. [Make an account prior to class.]
\n \u00b7 Click \u201cweb site\u201d from the selections on the page.
\n \u00b7 Paste the name of the clip into the space provided. [The website will automatically bibliograph all but the author\u2019s name for this clip. Point out that there is a website link on this video clip and click on it; a new window will open to this web site. The author\u2019s name is located on the web site. Copy and paste the author\u2019s name into the fields provided on BibMe. Emphasize that the students must find all the information they can for each resource.]
\n \u00b7 Click \u201cAdd to My Bibliography\u201d. The resource citation will appear on the right side of the screen in the proper format.
\n \u00b7 Click \u201cSave to Account.\u201d
\n \u00b7 Click \u201cChicago\u201d on \u201cChange format\u201d.
\n \u00b7 Click \u201cRename\u201d and type \u201c[Play name]: Dramaturgical Research\u201d in the field provided.
\n \u00b7 Click \u201cBibliography Maker\u201d. The page will refresh to the home page, saving the first entry on the right.
\n \u00b7 Click \u201cBook\u201d from the selections
\n \u00b7 Type \u201cTo Kill a Mockingbird\u201d in the field and click \u201cEnter.\u201d
\n \u00b7 Several choice will appear; click \u201cSelect\u201d next to the top entry. Point out that when there are several options, choose the one that is the actual resource the student is using, not just the top one.
\n \u00a7 The source will appear in the fields provided.
\n \u00a7 Click \u201cAdd to My Bibliography\u201d.
\n \u00a7 Click \u201cSave to Account.\u201d
\n \u00a7 Click \u201cBibliography Maker\u201d to add another source.
\n o Continue to add and save items to your source list and bibliography until your casebook and bibliography are completed. Do not forget to add sources as you find them!
\n o Print the completed bibliography.<\/p>\n
\n o Discuss and demonstrate (a playwright biography is a good example to use):
\n \u00b7 Internet: type \u201cHarper Lee\u201d into a search engine; display different resources that appear; ask students to point out various web sites that might relate to a performance of the play; click on one or two. [Adding a web site to the mock bibliography is a demonstration option.]
\n \u00a7 Invite one or two students to type their playwrights\u2019 names into the same search engine; briefly explore some of the resources that appear. [Sometimes there is not much available; show students how to access the publisher of the play–there is frequently a biography available on the publisher\u2019s website. This is an acceptable alternative to other playwright info; the website must be cited in the bibliography.]
\n \u00b7 Books: discuss using books in the 921 section of a library as resources for a playwright\u2019s biography; also mention using the library for other books about historical periods, social issues, etc. Mention that the library will be visited later during the lesson.
\n \u00b7 Articles in magazines: point out magazine articles that appeared in the \u201cHarper Lee\u201d search; point out that often these resources are available from the internet and do not necessarily have to be accessed in printed form.
\n \u00b7 Video recordings: recordings of or about plays, playwrights, periods, etc. can be good resources for research. Ask students where they find video sources.<\/p>\n
\n o Review the following information on the hand-out:
\n \u00b7 Name, birth date (at least the year), place of birth
\n \u00b7 Where he\/she currently lives or when\/where he\/she died.
\n \u00b7 Other works (books, plays, etc.)
\n \u00b7 One or two other interesting facts: hobbies, interests, political involvement, oddities, etc.<\/p>\n
\n o By prearrangement with the school librarian, students visit the library and learn from the librarian where items (computers available for student use, magazines, non-fiction books such as biographies, video recordings, etc.,) can be found that may be useful in their research, and how to access them.
\n Assignment (Due next class): Students will research and write a brief biographical sketch of the playwright who has written their play, \u00bd to 1 page typed (1-2 pages hand written). They will bibliograph the resource(s) they use for the biographical sketch. They will present the biographies in the following class. They may use the remaining class time to work on the assignment in the library.
\n Begin students working on playwright biographies:
\n o Invite students to begin their playwright research at the computers (ask students to work in cooperative teams if necessary).
\n o Ask students to access BibMe and open new accounts.
\n o Remind students (individually and\/or in groups) to be sure to begin their Dramaturgical Research lists, either by hand or in a document they can save on a flash drive.
\n o Encourage students to begin their playwright research using a search engine and\/or the school library catalog.
\n o Circulate the library; assist students in finding playwright resources. As sources are discovered, help students identify and choose pertinent information, referring to the suggestions on the handout. Have the students write or copy\/paste basic information\/resources they find.<\/p>\nAssessment<\/h5>\n
