What Is an Annotation?
An annotation is a brief description of a book, article, or any other type of publication. Its purpose is to summarize a work for the reader, who may then wish to consult that work. An annotation describes the work's emphasis, its level of detail, and any pertinent subtopics.

From **Purdue OWL** "Writing an annotated bibliography is excellent preparation for a research project. Just collecting sources for a bibliography is useful, but when you have to write annotations for each source, you're forced to read each source more carefully. You begin to read more critically instead of just collecting information. At the professional level, annotated bibliographies allow you to see what has been done in the literature and where your own research or scholarship can fit. The purpose of research is to state and support a thesis. So a very important part of research is developing a thesis that is debatable, interesting, and current. Writing an annotated bibliography can help you gain a good perspective on what is being said about your topic. By reading and responding to a variety of sources on a topic, you'll start to see what the issues are, what people are arguing about, and you'll then be able to develop your own point of view."

**The following is an example of a //summary// annotation for a journal article:** > ==== **CITATION:** ==== > ====London, Herbert. "Five Myths of the Television Age." //Television Quarterly// 10.1 ==== > ==== (Spring 1982): 81-89. ==== >> **SUMMATIVE ANNOTATION**: >> >> The author explains how television contradicts five ideas commonly believed by most people, using specific examples seen on television, such as the assassination of John Kennedy, to demonstrate his points. His examples contradict such common truisms as "seeing is believing," "a picture is worth a thousand words," and "satisfaction is its own reward." London uses logical arguments to support his ideas, and doesn't refer to any previous works on the topic: the article is his personal opinion. >>

**CREATING A CITATION WITH AN ANNOTATION**

 * 1. Log-in to NoodleTools.**
 * 2. Find current project.**
 * 3. Click on project to view work cited.**
 * 4. Select one of the citations to edit and scroll to the annotation box near the bottom.**
 * 5. Think carefully about what to write. Review any note cards for that source.**
 * 6. Enter summary of the source into annotation box (write a paragraph) and submit.**

Please keep in mind that all when you print out the Works Cited sheet your may have to adjust the one citation with the annotation. Check that your text, the write-up beneath the citation, is indented so that the author's last name is the only text that is flush left.

"The subject is the movement of mail by the U.S. postal service. As the film begins, two types of mail boxes on a pole on the corner of a street can be seen. In the background, away from the camera position, are people going by on foot, as well as horse-drawn and electric streetcar transportation. At the end of the film, a man wearing the uniform of a mailman is seen approaching the mail boxes. He unlocks the boxes and removes the mail from both the small and large boxes." Filmed August 10, 1903 in Washington, D.C.

"The subject of this Postal Department documentary is "snatching" the mail bag from the suspended post by the railroad mail clerk. As the film begins, a man climbs the steps leading to the device that suspends the mail bag in the air. A train can be seen in the distance approaching the mail bag. At the end of the film, the mail bag is just being snatched from the suspension device." Filmed September 21, 1903 in St. Georges, MD.

Packaging for Sarris Candy Project
Use these links below to look at different packaging designs.

What about the design appeals to consumers?

[|50 Beautiful and Effective Designs] When choosing one product over another, the design of the packaging probably influences your decision far more than you realize. Effective packaging design breaks away from the standard rules and conventions that we are accustomed to, giving the product a unique edge to stand out from the rest. The packaging should appeal to your target market. It’s also vital to ensure that you’re conveying the necessary information about the contents and quality of the product, while triggering the desired emotion in your customer.

[|How to create a dieline for you package - tutorial] Besides the package design itself, there are multiple issues involving FDA and USDA requirements as well as product and category specific government rules and regulations. For food items and consumables, nutritional panels and ingredient lists follow strict government guidelines. There are things you can and cannot state about a product’s health benefits and these vary depending on weather the product is classified as a food item or a supplement. You can learn a lot from this website.

[|Packaging of the World]

Packaging of the World is one of the most prominent packaging design website showcasing the most interesting and creative packaging work worldwide. So sit back, relax and be inspired!

[|Beautiful and Expressive Package Design]
 * Packaging design** has the primary goal to attract customers’ attention. For this purpose, package designs can not simply inform the customers, but also provoke feelings and communicate emotions. An effective packaging looks attractive, impresses with its creativity and is just nice to have on the shelf.

[|Designing a Package Involves Math] As employees of the ABC Toy Company, their task is to design a package to house 24 blocks. They are supplied with 24 stacking cubes to explore the different ways the cubes can be put together and packaged. For each package built, they record the dimensions and determine surface area corresponding to that box.

Well, since my baby left me Well, I found a new place to dwell Well, it's down at the end of Lonely Street At Heartbreak Hotel

Well, I'll be I'll be so lonely baby Well, I'm so lonely I'll be so lonely, I could die

Oh, although it's always crowded You still can find some room For broken hearted lovers To cry there in their gloom

They'll be so They'll be so lonely, baby Well, they're so lonely They're so lonely, they could die

Now, the bell hop's tears keep flowin' And the desk clerk's dressed in black Well, they been so long on Lonely Street They'll never ever look back

And it's so Well, it's so lonely baby Well, they're so lonely Well, they're so lonely, they could've die

Well, if your baby leaves you You got a tale to tell Well, just take a walk down Lonely Street To Heartbreak Hotel

Where you will be You'll be so lonely, baby Well you'll be lonely You'll be so lonely you could die

Oh, although it's always crowded You still can find some room For broken hearted lovers To cry there in their gloom

They've been so They're be so lonely, baby Well, they're so lonely They'll be so lonely, they could die

**FIRST PARAGRAPH ACTIVITY TO DESCRIBE THE SETTING**
First read the opening of "To Build a Fire": > Day had broken cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main Yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. It was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. It was nine o'clock. There was no sun nor hint of sun, though there was not a cloud in the sky. It was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, a subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. This fact did not worry the man. He was used to the lack of sun. It had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view. > Point out some of the adjectives in this opening scene and write them down.


 * How would you describe the setting in this opening paragraph?
 * What is the mood of this opening paragraph?
 * How does this opening make you feel as a reader?
 * What is the man's reaction to the landscape?

= ACTIVITY TO IDENTIFY KNOWLEDGE OR INSTINCT =

**GRAPHIC ORGANIZER FOR IDENTIFYING KNOWLEDGE OR INSTINCT IN THE STORY**


As the story comes to an end, consider the following questions:
 * What does the man's failure to "build a fire" symbolize?
 * Does the man have either knowledge or instinct?
 * Did the man finally gain knowledge at the end of the story?
 * What is the significance of the dog's final movement towards civilization at the end of the story? What does this suggest about the dog's relationship to nature? Is instinct driving this movement?
