(possible 5 points)

 

CONSULT: Student models on this site; Parts 2 and 3 in Keys Handbook; use the template for an annotation

FORMAT: The cover page should include your name, time of class, and the research question or working hypothesis for your Proposed Research Paper.

 

ASSIGNMENT: Using correct MLA format prepare a Working Bibliography for five sources you that relate to answering your research question for the research paper. One source may be an interview. 

 

Present the sources in correct MLA format in alphabetical order.

 

Under one source provide an annotation (summary) of a minimum of 150 words.  Summarize the main point and sub-points of the article and indicate the relevance of the points or evidence in the article to your project.  The relevance of material from the source may be its thesis,  a piece of evidence (quote, statistic, example, or official action), or the background material it contains.  You may also evaluate the quality of the evidence, the writer’s credentials, the logic, or the writing style.  Finally, you may record a personal reaction to this source.  For example, how is information from this source helpful, or does the material from the source alter your understanding of the topic you’re researching?   

 

Use your own words, but present important wording (words or phrases) from the original in direct quotes.  No internal documentation required.
