The topic of the paper should be chosen from content that is discussed in the book or course material. Frequently chosen topics include comparisons of various cultural rituals around the dying process; the impact of grief; current issues surrounding death and technology; organ donation, coping with death from different development perspectives, palliative care and hospice, etc. Topics such as burial practices, forensics, or historical practices are also interesting. Just remember that you will use these resources to create an informational brochure, so consider your intended audience.
Length. 5 pages that includes a title page (include your topic and intended audience for the
teaching project), one page per source, and a reference page for your additional teaching project
resources and photo credits.
2. Format. Use APA formatting. You no longer need a running head for student papers. You are
expected to thoroughly proofread for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure. I
suggest that you submit your paper to a plagiarism checker prior to submission.
Content. For each source of the bibliography, you will include the reference in APA format at the top of the page (single space). Summarize the article: Describe the main points, for example,
purpose/audience/summary/results/possible biases, etc. Write in narrative form. You should keep additional notes from the articles to use in the teaching project, but only summarize the most pertinent information here in one page per article. Do not write in the third person (sometimes the suggested style for an annotated bibliography, but not necessary here)
All applicants go through a series of tests that check their level of English and knowledge of formatting styles. The applicant is also required to present a sample of writing to the Evaluation Department. If you wish to find out more about the procedure, check out the whole process.
