The Annotated Bibliography- Discourse 300 Assignment Overview:

An annotated bibliography is a list of sources on a specific topic that includes an annotation for each source. Annotated bibliographies require active engagement with sources by encouraging students to make connections between multiple sources. Through this review of sources, students can learn what has already been said about the topic, see where sources disagree, discover gaps in the research where more research is needed, and in general, become part of the larger conversation. Annotated bibliographies are common college assignments; each one may have slightly different requirements, however, depending on what the instructor wants. 1. find at least 4 credible sources that cover your chosen topic from various scholarly articles/essays and annotation for each source: each source= 1 annotation a.This annotation will include:

2. a summary,

3. an evaluation of the author's credibility, and 4. an analysis of the article's usefulness & relevance to the scholarly debate. b.For this particular annotated bibliography assignment, I'm requiring that each the annotation must include a direct quote OR a paraphrase from one or more of the other sources in the bibliography in the analysis section. This requirement is to show that you are relating the ideas in one source to the other sources in your annotated bibliography; it will help you create connections between the sources and to identify where they agree and disagree with each other.

2. Each entry will be rough l, so the Annotated Bibliography organize the entries in alphabetical order based on the works cited entry for each source (in each source entry the citation should come first, then the summary paragraph, then the evaluation paragraph, and finally the analysis paragraph). 1. Construct a correct citation 2. Appropriately summarize source material 3. Evaluate the credibility of sources and authors 4. Analyze and assess the relevance and usefulness of sources 5. Explain connection(s) between sources
