March 5, 2024Annotated bibliography & essay
In this course, you will complete an annotated bibliography and essay on the same topic. The annotated bibliography gives you practice in key academic skills such as searching for journal articles, summarising key ideas, referencing, and academic writing. It is the start of the research for your essay and will offer useful sources and ideas.
For both tasks, you will focus upon one client group as an example of social work practice
Chosen topic – Young people living in refugee camps
Suggested steps
1. Watch the four short video case studies about each client group on Moodle.
2. The videos give you background information on each client group from the perspectives of people with lived experience.
3. After you watch the videos, choose the client group you will focus on for the annotated bibliography and essay
