Assignment #2 Annotated Bibliography/Movie Review- Due Monday, July 8

Each class participant is expected to submit by Session #5 one of two possible written assignments- student choice:

a)  An annotated bibliography containing at least three references.  Each reference should be at least two paragraphs in length.  The first paragraph should be a brief summary of the reference, describing the issues addressed and the thrust of the author’s position.  The second paragraph should discuss the relevance of this reference to the course as a whole, as well as pertinent clinical issues, questions raised or answered for you personally, applicability to practice, etc.  Additional paragraphs may be needed to adequately review the article.

The references should be directly related to clinical social work with children and adolescents, and should be articles from professional journals, or chapters of books at least 8 pages in length, or one of the recommended therapy videos on Kanopy (see list below in the addendum https://brynmawr.kanopy.com/category/389).  One of the references should relate directly to issues around working with specific ethnic or social minorities.  The other two references should be of your choosing, on a topic of interest to you.  I would be happy to recommend suggestions or point people in particular directions if you would like.  One of them can be from the recommended reading list above. 

                                                      or

b)  View one of the popular movies on contemporary adolescents and children (listed in the addendum) and write a review.  The review should be 3-4 pages long, including a brief plot overview/summary and a discussion of its relevance (or lack thereof) to this course.  Particular focus should be on issues surrounding how this film might reflect upon clinical social work interventions with youth populations.
