REQUIREMENTS:
1. Essays must be 3-4 pages long.

2. Essays must include 3 or more outside sources. Sources can be print or

from databases. Sources can be from the internet, so long as they are
reliable resources.

3. Source material must be properly incorporated and properly cited,

following MLA formatting guidelines and rules.

4. There must be a balance between the piece of media chosen and the
research presented. Thoughtful analysis must show how the two work
together to support your thesis.
5. Must include an Annotated Bibliography in place of your works cited
page.

ANNOTATED BIB:
Write an annotated bibliography that includes 3 scholarly sources and your
primary source for a total of four.

Each annotation must include rhetorical information about the source (such
as purpose, audience and genre), a summary of the source's contents, and
your own evaluation of that source for your research purposes.

An annotation is a summary and/or evaluation. Therefore, an annotated

bibliography includes a summary and/or evaluation of each of the sources.

Each annotation should answer the following:

1. It should be indicated if it is the primary source of your essay. If it is not

your primary source, then there is not a need to indicate that it is your
secondary source.

2. You should summarize the source in 2-5 sentences. What is the genre
of the source? Is it a nonfiction essay, historical fiction, statistical research,
a sociology article? What are the main arguments? What is the point of this
book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this
article/book is about, what would you say? The length of your annotations
will determine how detailed your summary is. What part of the primary
source are you investigating for your paper?

3. Assess whether or not this article is helpful for your paper. If it is not,
then trash it. If you find it turns out that this was not a reliable resource,
then trash it. Find another source. Think of how it compares to the other
sources you used for your paper.

4. Indicate how the source is used to write your paper. If it is the primary
source, indicate which aspect of the source you are researching. Example:
If you are using Angels in America as a means to discuss what the AIDS
epidemic was like during the 80s, then explain that this is the particular
aspect of the piece that you are investigating. If it is a secondary source,
elaborate on how it helps establish your research paper. For example, if
you are writing about the AIDS epidemic during the 80s, and your article
has statistics of mortality rates due to the epidemic, then state you used
the article for statistical evidence. Indicate how it shapes your argument in
your paper.

Finally, the bibliography must express all necessary information concisely,

in such a way that it does not exceed the maximum length. 1(5 sentence
paragraph if it is one)-3 paragraphs(for your annotated bibliography).

YOU ARE SUMMARIZING THE SOURCE AND EXPLAINGING HOW

YOU USED IT IN YOUR PAPER. THATS IT. YOU FIRST HAVE NORMAL
CITATION AND THIS SYNOPSIS UNDER IT. THINK OF IT AS AN
EXPANDED WORKS CITED.
 GRADING CRITERIA:

In grading this assignment, I’ll be asking the following questions:

-Does each annotation include useful information about its source? Does it
summarize the source’s content?

-Does each annotation EXPLAIN how the sources are used for your
paper?

Have you evaluated the source for its relevance and usefulness to your
research?

-Are your annotations clearly and concisely written? Have you avoided
confusing wordiness while still adopting

an appropriately formal tone for an annotated bibliography?

-Have you cited sources according to MLA conventions? Are your sources
in alphabetical order?

FORMAT:

Each annotation should be double-spaced, but single-space the

bibliographic entries themselves.

Each bibliographic entry should be formatted according to MLA standards,

and should be followed by your annotation of it.
