Annotated Bibliography requirements: At least ten reliable sources from the University Library should be covered. Each annotated bibliography entry should be about 200 -300 words. You are giving the MLA or APA reference, a summary in your own words about each article and the evaluative statements for each source. Format samples: https://academic.oup.com/aje/article/181/4/261/122027 https://www.bethel.edu/library/research/apa-annobib-sixth.pdf https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/03/ https://libguides.enc.edu/annotatedbib/apa https://bcs.bedfordstmartins.com/writersref6e/lmcontent/ch07/PDF/Hacker-Orlov-MLA-Biblio.pdf https://www.umuc.edu/library/libhow/bibliography_apa.cfm#annotatedbibliography The annotated bibliography is an important step in this process; include scholarly sources for your multiple perspective argumentation essays. There should be evidence of having used the University Library. If above links do not work in the classroom, copy/paste each through Google. Use one format: MLA or APA. Do not copy the published abstract for each source. Carefully read through each source and ask yourself, How will this source help my paper? The sources should show a variety of perspectives on your research subject/topic. See the textbook for annotated bibliography help as well as the above suggested websites. See the Q&A below for additional help as you critically think through the sources to use. Note: The Annotated Bibliography must include MLA or APA sources and paragraphs for the approved topic. Ten sources will be required; students may add sources throughout the weeks of the course while exploring this topic. Do not merely submit the Works Cited or Reference page of ten sources. That approach will be unacceptable for grading. You must take each source, one at a time, summarizing the content of the source in a paragraph (at least 100 words) and concluding with your evaluation (at least two complete sentences) stating how that source can help you with your research paper. Do not choose sources that will not help you develop a range of views about your research subject; this way, your topic will be arguable. Use only reliable, college level sources. I would like to see evidence of having used the online sources provided by the JTCC library. (Note: If you choose to use APA instead of MLA, depending on your major, you must follow one format consistently throughout.) No Wikis, no blogs. Be wary of .com sources. Q & A: Annotated Bibliography. 1. How many entries? 10 entries showing 10 substantive sources. 2. What does each entry consist of? 1) The MLA or APA documentation and 2) a paragraph of approximately 100- 200 words summarizing the key points of the article. Do not simply read the abstract. You must read and take notes on the entire PDF entry so that your summary can be comprehensive although concise. Do not copy from the published abstracts. That would be considered plagiarism. 3) Your evaluative statements as to how helpful this source may be for your developing papers. Include sources that point to a position you might want to take, another perspective, an opposing viewpoint and multiple perspectives on the same research subject/topic. 3. What format should the entire Annotated Bibliography follow? Use correct MLA or APA format for the source. Your paragraph can be single-spaced. Double space after each entry. Make sure the entries are in alphabetical order. Follow the format above, beginning with Citation. 4. Is the Annotated Bibliography a Works Cited or Reference page? No, it is much more than a listing of sources. You list the sources, summarize the sources, and evaluate the sources you will use for your research-based paper for subsequent weeks. You will use the same topic for eight weeks of the course. Therefore, you need to be sure you have chosen a subject that allows for reliable, college-level research that offers varied points of view. 5. What is the word count for each entry? The bare minimum is 100 words. In former classes, students found it helpful to fully develop each paragraph (summary and evaluation in the student’s own words) for each source that totaled at least 200 words per entry. 6. Is there a sample I can follow? There are samples in our textbook as well as suggested above websites. Annotated bibliographies are assigned in several universities and colleges. Suggestion: As you evaluate each source for the Annotated Bibliography, consider these questions as guidelines for your critical thinking. 2. What does the writer assume about the readers knowledge of or attitude toward the subject? 3. Does the evidence support the main idea? How? 4. Does the writer show bias or objectivity? How? 5. How would this source be useful for writing about the topic? At the end of essay answer these questions pertaining to the writing please . copy /paste the question then answer Construct a working thesis for the argumentation study and include at least three claims you plan to substantiate through research. Describe in detail what you consider the best of the ten (10) sources you included in your Annotated Bibliography. In a well-developed commentary, answer these questions an explain why you believe this one source may be the most authoritative and helpful for your Opposing Viewpoint paper and other essays to follow. Tell what you learned from this source that has helped you to further understand the research subject. Questions for reflection may include: 1) What aspects of the topic are emphasized, deemphasized or omitted? 2) Does the evidence support the main idea without creating bias? and 3) How does the published writer establish objectivity and credibility that you find useful for your developing arguments?
