FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE LISTED BELOW AS WELL AS WHAT I WROTE AND THE FEEDBACK THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME. I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT WAS DONE WONG OR NOT DONE AT ALL

INSTRUCTIONS:

For each annotation, you will provide me with the complete citation (top of the document) and then do the following in essay form (one paragraph per task):

• Summarize: 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.

For more help, see our handout on paraphrasing sources.

• Assess: After summarizing a source, it may be helpful to evaluate it. Is it a useful source? How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source?

For more help, see our handouts on evaluating resources.

• Reflect: Once you've summarized and assessed a source, you need to ask how it fits into your research. Was this source helpful to you? How does it help you shape your argument? How can you use this source in your research project? Has it changed how you think about your topic?

MY PROJECT ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY IS:

Adopt Don't Shop The research subject I chose for my final argument paper is "Should people adopt animals instead of buying them from breeders?" This subject is suitable for a discussion paper because it is contentious and commonly debated, particularly with companion ownership, allowing for a thorough consideration of different features and perspectives, making it ideal for argumentative papers. My stance is to adopt rather than buy from a breeder. Adopting animals from shelters and rescue organizations is ethical, helps to minimize pet overpopulation, and saves the lives of needed animals. My reasoning for this position is as follows: Adoption is a humane and responsible decision that promotes animal welfare. Breeding and selling animals perpetuates the problem of overbreeding and promotes unhealthy and inhumane conditions for animals, For animals, there are millions of them. Animals in animal shelters and rescue centers are waiting for loving homes, so buying from a breeder is unnecessary. Adopt is a humanitarian and ethical act that supports animal welfare. Breeding and selling animals contributes to the problem of overbreeding and encourages unhealthy and harsh conditions for animals, and there are millions of animals. Animals in shelters and rescue facilities are looking for loving homes, so purchasing from a breeder is unnecessary. Researching this will support my reasons for this position. There is a lot of data and evidence to research on the benefits of adoption and the issues of breeding and selling animals. However, if I can't find research to support your position, I will reevaluate the reasons and adjust my position. To express my position on this, it is important to thoroughly understand the topic and all viewpoints. I formulated the following research question. "Why is adopting an animal more ethical and responsible than buying from a breeder?" It will help me gather evidence to support my claims. It will show the overarching theme of animal welfare and responsibility that ties into the topic of pet ownership. To summarize, my "Adopt Don't Shop" topic is a strong and appropriate choice for an argument paper. My position supporting adoption and my three reasons for this stance create a clear and focused argument that research can support. Although research supports my position, I am willing to reevaluate and adjust my position if sufficient evidence is not found. This research question allows me to critically consider the ethics and implications of pet ownership and represents a valuable contribution to the debate on pet adoption and breeding. The phrase 'Adopt Don't Shop' is an appropriate choice for argumentative papers. My position supporting adoption and my three reasons for this stance create a clear and focused argument that research can support. While research will support my position, I am open to re-evaluating and adjusting my stance if I cannot find sufficient evidence. This topic and research question allows for a critical investigation of the ethics and implications of pet ownership, making it a valuable contribution to the conversation surrounding pet adoption and breeding.

THIS WAS MY FEEDBACK FOR MY WORK:

Your annotations should take this form:

CITATION FOR ARTICLE (IN YOUR CASE, MLA FORMATTING)

SUMMARY PARAGRAPH

ANALYTICAL PARAGRAPH

REFLECTIVE PARAGRAPH

If there are two required annotations, you'll repeat the same pattern in the same document with the next article.

Thanks for setting this up using MLA formatting! However, this isn't a critical annotation, but a full AB. We'll get there, but not yet. Each week you should examine the required number of resources (this week it was one, next week two, and then two more after that) and compose a paragraph of summary, analysis, and reflection for each resource. You'll also put the citation before each annotation, not at the end as a works cited page. I'll draw up a sample in the general comments box for you to reference.
