This assignment asks you to produce a working annotated bibliography of at least 10 sources.
Your Annotated Bibliography should contain the following:
- A correct MLA bibliography entry for each of your 10 sources
- A cohesive 4-5 sentence paragraph each source that:
- Introduces your source (1 sentence), offering a more detailed verbalization of the MLA entry noting what kind of source this is (e.g. a book, an article from a respected peer-reviewed journal, an author interview, and so on).
- Succinctly summarizes your source (2 sentences) focusing on those aspects of the argument that will be most relevant to your project.
- Offers a statement of value for your source (1 sentences) in which you respond more subjectively–and, if fitting, analytically–to the source and the potential value it might hold for your project.
Of course, you can offer more for each source–especially those that might ground the framework you build around your paper. It is expected that we all sketch out the conversation that informs our argument, and that work begins with the annotated bib.
