Bibliography Format

After you have found 3 reliable sources, look at the index of sources in the MLA section of the OWL link and go to the model for the type of source you have.

Type the information, using correct capitalization and punctuation.  Double space and apply a hanging indent… if you have any questions don’t hesitate to message me

At least one source has to come from Galileo.

Do not use the Word citation generator. The citation will be incorrect, too difficult to edit.

The summary of the source must be in your own words. Please, do not plagiarize! Each source must have 3 points. I can send an example of what the bibliography should look like if needed.

1. My research topic: Standardized testing
2. The sources I have found so far are:

Meador, Derrick. “Examining the Pros and Cons of Standardized Testing.” ThoughtCo, Jun. 21, 2019, thoughtco.com/examining-the-pros-and-cons-of-standardized-testing-3194596.

In the article, “The Pros and Cons of Standardized Testing”, written by Derrick Meador, the pros and cons of standardized testing are, addressed. Meador is the superintendent for Jennings Public Schools and has a master’s degree in educational leadership.

He writes that proponents say, it is the best way to gather data from diverse populations. They believe that it gives accountable, it’s analytical, it’s structured, objective and can be granular. The article also reads of the opponents against standardized testing. Their arguments against standardized testing are, it’s inflexible, it’s a waste of time, it can’t measure true progress and it’s political.

The article gives arguments from both views of standardized testing. West, Charlotte. “Teaching to the Test: Pros and Cons.” ThoughtCo, Dec. 7, 2018, thoughtco.com/teaching-to-the-test-pros-and-cons-4158535.Accesed 21 Oct 2019

In the article “Teacher to the Test: Pro and Cons.”, written by Charlotte West, she discusses the No Child Left Behind ACT (NCLB), (President Bush) and Every Student Succeed Act (ESSA) that replaced the NCLB, when President Obama was in office. West’s article reads how critics of the initiatives want a bi-partisan approach to education.

Commented [CB1]: This is what the student would say during the presentation, but she just made 3 brief points on the outline form so that she wouldn’t be reading from a paragraph. The outline for this source looked like this:

Point 1 – Meador’s background and stance Point 2 – Pro – testing is accountable, structured, and granular Point 3 – Con – inflexible and political Note: you may read brief quotes during the presentation, so you can paste those onto the outline form or bring your full annotated bibliography to read those from.

Dixon, Bruce “The Testing Emperor Finally Has No Clothes.” Modern Learners, Oct. 6, 2017, modernlearners.com/the-testing-emperor-finally-has-no-clothes. Accessed 20 Oct 2019

In this article “The Testing Emperor Finally Has No Clothes.” written by Bruce Dixon writes, “It’s about time the absurdity and deceit of standardised testing was called out for what it is:

A multi-billion-dollar industry that is profiteering by inflicting harm on our young people.” He states the deceit of standardised testing and the little research to support its use. Dixon states that learning is not a competition and that school ranking is shaming.

That Rote memorisation is not learning and the testing kills curiosity. He writes that testing hurts our student, teachers and schools. “We are testing for the wrong reasons.” He believes threat there are viable alternatives to such testing with advice from highly respected educators whom are also against all the testing.

This touches me personally because I have children in school who fill pressured to test. Testing has been a factor in my two boys currently in school disliking school. My hope that laws change and that children can enjoy school again.
