Annotated Bibliography

For Paper #3, you will need to incorporate at least 4-5 outside sources into your writing. You will also need to create an evaluative annotated bibliography to document your research efforts. This assignment will be due at the end of Unit 9, two units before you need to submit the final paper for this course. Instructions: Complete an evaluative annotated bibliography containing at least 3 of the 4-5 outside sources you plan on including in Paper #3. Remember that evaluative annotations “offer opinions on a source as well as describe it” (The Norton Field Guide to Writing, 192). Your evaluative annotations need to include the following key features (this is the basis upon which your work will be graded): * A statement of scope. This is a brief introductory statement explaining the context for the bibliography and the reasons for compiling it. You will want to address the topic prompt you have chosen to write on and the direction of your paper’s argument. This statement should be 1 paragraph long. * Complete bibliographic information. In your annotated bibliography, you will need to provide complete information for each source you will be using in your paper. In doing so, you will need to use one documentation system, which in this case, will be MLA style. * Consistent presentation. Your annotated bibliography should be written in complete sentences and paragraphs. * Relevant commentary. As you will be writing an evaluative annotation, you will need to both summarize and provide relevant commentary for each source. For each entry, to help you organize your research, you might want to consider addressing the following two questions: 1) What is the source’s argument and main point(s)? and 2) How does each source pertain to your paper? ** Your annotated bibliography needs to be submitted in Microsoft Word (doc, docx) and formatted in MLA style (typed, double-spaced, 1-inch margins, 12-point font, Times New Roman).
