Annotated Bibliography (ASA Format)

Submit a summary paragraph for each article (250-300 words)
Summary paragraphs state the main points of the article (and are very similar to a journal abstract).
Submit an analytical paragraph for each article (approximately 250-300 words)
Analytical comments can vary, but typically do one or more of the following:
Provide an extension or counterpoint to what is being read
Show how ideas encountered resonate with, or are used analytically, to understand aspects of the problem or topic being researched
Connect what is being discussed in this course to other courses taken (including other Sociology courses, Anthropology courses, Psychology courses, and/or Philosophy courses); and/or
Express or develop your own scholarly interest and curiosity.
Do not feel that you must touch on all these topics for your analytical paragraphs. Choosing one or two per article is expected.
Paper Format

Please note: You may have to search around the articles a bit for the volume, issue, and page numbers, and name of the journals (the first page of each article is the best place to look). But I guarantee, all the information you need is there!
