Annotated Bibliography: Survival Skills in School

“How to Convert Your Mower into a Generator.” Doomsday Prep, DoomsdayPrep.com, 17 June 2014, This is a very brief article that provides links to a page that provides the actual directions and broken links to what were once videos on converting a mower to a generator. This page provides ideas rather than actual instruction. AUTHOR There is no author provided for this article. METHOD The author attempts to establish credibility by providing a link to another page, on a different site, that provides the actual instructions. Once upon a time, there might also have been links to videos that provided visual proof of the concept, but links do not appear to work anymore. BIAS There does not appear to be any bias apparent in the article. LINK This information links well to my topic because I am writing about the need for training in schools that would prepare people to survive in an extended emergency. This article provides information on a generator which would help for survival, but the actual application of the information would require some sort of mechanical and electrical training that most people do not possess but that could easily be added to existing school classes. PUBLICATION This publication’s agenda appears to be that everyone needs to take steps to assure for survival in the event of an extended emergency. This mindset is completely in line with my own agenda in my paper, so the information on this site would be very useful in supporting my claim.
