The article touched on four topics which were: Physical readiness, social-emotional readiness, cognitive readiness and funding for education. The article stated that children come to school everyday unprepared to have a successful day. The children in the area that we are looking forward to servicing these backpacks to live in a very low income area. These children are probably suffering from other issues and these backpacks can mean a lot to them. This document is important to our research because it shows some of the different effects of poverty that the children can be suffering from. We can use the information in this document and implement healthy eating pamphlets for the family, stress relief tips, and anything that can be helpful to the parent or child. Engle, P.

Engle studied psychology at Wellesley College and completed a PhD in child development and psychology at Stanford University. Her goals were to ensure that child development programs were based on scientific evidence, were evaluated rigorously, and were a central component of efforts to ensure the health, development, and well being of children. Alongside Dr. Maureen M. Black, the two doctors write an article that examines the effects of poverty on a child’s development and educational outcomes both directly and

Retrieved February 22, 2018, from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1955420/ In this article, retrieved within the US National Library of Medicine database, Dr. Leonard Jack’s experimental research elaborates on how poverty and health status are interrelated. Dr. Leonard Jack, Jr. is an accredited and reliable source for data. He has over 14 years of experience working for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and has served terms as Associate Dean for 2 universities. Dr. Jack delivers a detailed, analytical research article on the reasons behind poverty and his presumed resolutions. His experience allows for a clear understanding of the issue and its consequences. Although Dr. Jack seems to be speaking to an audience of public health professionals, most of his research can be understood by many individuals, including higher education students. His examination of the consequences of poverty compels readers to take a harder and more skeptical look on one’s ability to contribute to minimizing the consequences of poverty.

Third, try joining an online group to see if you can get in contact with regular non- profit groups to get the donations. Fourth, Utilize the community for donation of other funds. Fifth, seek out backpack programs that specialize in this, like school on wheels and school ready for any additional assistance.

(One short paragraph for your post and one short paragraph for respond to classmate’s post) This is an opportunity to discuss what've you learned in creating Annotated Bibliographies. For example, I never knew that you could focus an Annotated Bibliography on your specific project. For years, I summarized, generally, sources and would have made better connections for my own learning by focusing my annotations. Classmate’s post: After reading about annotated bibliography, I learned a lot. I found that annotated bibliography has three component. First is the full reference of the source, second summary of major points of the source and third is how the source is relevant to the research, how it will support the research and also an opportunity to analyze its credibility and reliability. Before reading about annotated bibliography, I used to just do a summary of the source and didn't bother to fully cite the source or add the credibility part. I found this reading helpful in understanding this useful part of research. Grading Rubric for Reading Responses
