Sources should come FIRST from the Shake LRC databases(https://www.vinu.edu/web/shake-learning-resource-center/welcome)--use books, articles from the databases such as SIRS, ProQuest, Opposing Viewpoints, EBSCOhost...reference sources such as Credo Reference (avoid general encyclopedias).

Remember that sources are subject to my approval. Websites should be carefully chosen (avoiding .com sites with the exception of legitimate news sources), avoiding biased material. While the internet provides a plethora of blogs, please do not use them.

All material will be prepared using MLA 8 format. You have a file provided for you to use as a template--use it.

Attach a Word file containing your first five sources, properly formatted according to MLA 8. A sample annotated bibliography is provided for you to use as a template. It is properly formatted with hanging indentation and sample entries that you can use as guides. Please delete them before submitting your sources.

Include your annotations on the same line as the bibliography entry itself. Each entry should contain 3-5 sentences of annotation. Start with the author's name, followed by a strong verb (i.e., Jones argues, Smith asserts....).

NOTE: All files submitted to Blackboard MUST BE IN .DOC
