Annotated Bibliography
To prepare for your research paper, you will submit an annotated bibliography that contains at
least 5 secondary sources. These sources should come ONLY from the GMC library databases.
For each source, you will provide a paragraph-long annotation.
Your annotated bibliography will be graded on the following rubric:
Sources 10 points
Annotations 20 points
MLA Style 15 points
Mechanics, Grammar, and Punctuation 5 points
Sources
? You must provide at least five sources
? Each source should be a critical argument on the reading you’ve chosen for your research
paper. Sources that only provide biographical information or plot summary are
unacceptable. The source MUST provide an argument.
Annotations
? The annotation for each source should be a paragraph in length (at least 150 words).
? You must include a brief summary of the source. This summary should include the
author’s thesis.
? You must provide an analysis of how you may use the source in your paper.
