Part Two – annotation from Academic Search Complete

ALAM, K. R. (2006, May 1). GANOKENDRA: AN INNOVATIVE MODEL FOR POVERTY. International Review of Education, Vol. 52(3/4), pp. p343-352. doi:10.1007/s11159-006-0003-z

 Descriptive:

·         Ganokendras (people’s learning center) along with the Government are targeting the women, because they are the most affected by poverty, and using a literacy-based tactic to ease poverty in Bangladesh.

·         The intended audience is educators and official business people (men/women) and purpose to inform of potential solutions by means of education of poverty.

·         This connects to my topic by the possible solutions of poverty by educating the people of Bangladesh that are affected the most.

Evaluative:

·         I have chosen this article because it is directly related to the research topic that I have been working on. It will fit in with my possible solutions for a group presentation in HD 403.

·         I trust the information because of the authority of the author and the relation to the information that I have already found on how poverty mainly affects the women of Bangladesh.

·         The viewpoint of this author is to teach and empower those whom need it. He is investing in the people. This relates to my topic because of what need that the author is explaining that is being met.

·         It was published in May of 2006 so it is relatively current and can be used.

Part Three;

This week I learned how to quickly do an Annotated Bibliography. I learned how to gather information to evaluate an article and put in a form that I can come back to and see exactly what I was thinking when I read the article. I can see what and where to use the information that I wanted to quickly and rather effectively.
