ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY [FINAL EXAM]

Group Assignment 

As part of the OER project approved by CTLET, students will compile a list of annotated resources that promote cross cultural understanding, diversity and inclusion, multiculturalism and racial equity. These references should come naturally from the student’s final written paper of resources that each student consulted while working on their paper. Students can add to this page anytime. These will be cross checked when students turn in the assignment at the end of the semester and will be uploaded on the CUNY Academic Commons page created for the course located here: https://cldv100.commons.gc.cuny.edu/
