Assignment 1: Annotated List of Organizations (Individual papers)

Create an annotated list of local AND global organizations related to your commodity. There must be one of each type of organization: NGO; government agencies; and co-operatives, corporations, or small businesses. Each member of your group should have a unique set of organizations–in other words, there should be no overlap with other group members. Your annotation for each organization must include a history and summary of its activities, the range of products or services it provides, and its source of funding. Your list must include answers to the following:

1. What is the history of the organization?
2. What are the organization’s goals?
3. What are the organization’s needs?
4. What things does the organization do to realize its goals and meet its needs?

Type the annotated list of organizations with contact information and return it to the instructor. The organizational summary should be written in paragraph form–complete sentences, proper grammar and punctuation, etc. It should be paraphrased, meaning that it should be in your own words (not cut-and-pasted, which is a form of plagiarism). Each person in your group must submit a list of three different organizations to the instructor. The assignment should only include information from academic and credible non-academic media sources other than the organization itself. Minimum 1000 words (approximately four double spaced pages)not including cited text, references or cover page).
