Writing Assignment 3: Outline/Annotated Bibliography
Create an annotated bibliography that includes at least 5 academic, outside research sources (the textbook does not count as a source) and a summary of each source.
“An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.” (Cornell University)
Both the outline and the annotated bibliography MUST be submitted in the SAME document.
There are samples of an annotated bibliography and a formal outline posted at Handouts and Help at the class Blackboard site.
Research Sources
You must use at least 3 academically appropriate research sources and 2 essays from Everything’s an Argument with Readings for this assignment. Your research sources must be college-level sources. You MAY NOT use the following sources:
Dictionaries (online or in print)
Encyclopedias (online or in print)
Wikipedia
Study guides
Papers were written by other students (online or in print)
For information about appropriate sources, visit the Handouts and Help at the Blackboard class site.
Format
Be sure to use in-text citations for ALL quotes and examples from the text. In addition, you MUST have a Works Cited page at the end of your writing assignment.
ALL assignments must be submitted in proper MLA format. For help with MLA style guidelines, read Chapter 22 in EAA and visit the Purdue OWL website and search for MLA: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/
Do not use the first person (I, we, us, our) or the second person (you, your, you’re). Academic writing often requires the use of third-person and a formal tone; in this course, I want you to practice this type of formal writing. College-level papers should always be written in the third person, using a formal tone, unless the assignment/professor specifies otherwise.
