Annotated Bib. 2

Research Question: What effects do different birth controls have on women that want to get pregnant after being on birth control for two or more years?
The directions inside the birth control case. Every case of birth control has a booklet of directions explaining how to use it. In this booklet it presents the side effects, such as cramps, longer and shorter periods, and maybe even danger to where you may not be able to get pregnant it also explains when to stop taking it when you want to start trying to get pregnant. The book of directions also explains the safety of it and other ways it may be helping you for example people get on birth control a lot of the time to help with their skin. I think this book of directions will be a huge jump for me on my research paper, it has a lot of good information that I will need to use.
Birth Control directions
Selling Anxiety: There are thousands of scares on birth control and the place that you usually hear them is on the news. This book Selling Anxiety explains how the news media scares women. It tells you stories that may have been heard and if they are myths or not. It also explains why in the past they had banded birth control for awhile and why they had decided to bring it back. Selling anxiety will give me a lot of information on why the media “blames the pill” this book will supply a lot of good information that I will need to help answer my research question.

Planned Parent Hood: This website is a great resource for information on birth control. This website tells me how often someone should take it, the side effects, what it does and does not protect, and how much it costs. There are a variety of bitch controls that you can take for example there is a pill, a patch, a shot, and it even talks about abstinence. I think this website has a lot of information that will help me collect information on birth control and some important facts that I may need.

Jamie,

The research question is looking better. Do you want to look at the age at which these women start BC, or simply look at women who have taken it for two years or more?

With the annotations, please put the bibliographic entry first, followed with the annotation itself. Planned Parenthood's website would not be considered an academic source. Woman's Health is also not an academic source. Please find academic sources for the bib. Books and peer reviewed journals, medical pamphlets and study findings all work as academic sources. Websites and popular magazines do not work for this assignment. I should have mentioned this earlier. See me with questions.
