Scaffolding

“Scaffolding is a form of assistance provided to a learner by a more capable teacher or peer that helps the learners perform a task that would normally not be possible to accomplish by working independently.” (Catherine McLoughlin Teaching and Learning Centre, University of New England and Linda Marshall ,Kurongkurl Katitjin, School of Indigenous Australian Studies Edith Cowan University)

Annotated Bibliography

http://www.wisc.edu/writing/Handbook/AnnotatedBibliography.html

An annotated bibliography is, simply, an organized list of sources, each of which is followed by a brief note or "annotation." These annotations do one or more of the following: describe the content and focus of the book or article; suggest the source's usefulness to your research; evaluate its method, conclusions, or reliability; record your reactions to the source.
