Students are to prepare an annotated bibliography which will provide themselves and others with a review of a range of valuable sources of information about key issues relating to children with disruptive behaviour disorders. The material should cover a range of topics, including; a general overview of disruptive emotional and behavioural disorders, assessment and identification children with the disorders, and classroom management (teaching) of children with different emotional and behaviour disorders.

Review 15 texts, articles, documents or websites. More may be reviewed if you wish.

An annotated bibliography is a list of references to a range of texts, articles, and websites (or attached documents) with appropriate citation. Each citation is followed by an overview (the ‘annotation’, which is usually a brief paragraph of about 150 – 170 words). The annotation describes and evaluates the work, by considering the quality, accuracy and significance of the material cited.

You might consider thinking about the author, date of publication, contexts of information provided (specific and general), intended audience, main issues introduced, quality of information / quality of research which may be evident, quality of arguments presented, ease of reading, and so forth.
