The Annotated Bibliography Assignment
The annotated bibliography is the research component of your proposal essay. It includes citation information (Works Cited Entries), a summary, an evaluation, and a reflection for each of the sources used for researching a topic. For this assignment, you will need to create an annotated bibliography that consists of three (3) sources. Each source should support the topic you will be writing about in your proposal essay. For each of the sources you select for this assignment, you should have four parts: source citation information, a summary of the source, an evaluation of the source, and a reflection for a total of nine (9) paragraphs. Each section is explained in detail below:
Source Citation: This is the source information in MLA format.
Summary Paragraph: What are the main arguments? What is the point of this book or article? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say?
Evaluation/Assessment Paragraph: Is it a useful source? Is the information reliable? What is the goal of this source? Check it with your CRAP Test.
Reflection Paragraph: Was this source helpful to you? How does it help you shape your argument? How can you use this source in your paper? Has it changed how you think about your topic?
