The Annotated Bibliography
The following is a quote from your Research Paper hand-out:
Prior to turning in your essay, you will submit an annotated bibliography. This assignment will allow me to make sure you completed some research, that you have at least the required sources and that you are properly citing your materials. For the bibliography, you cite the source and add a brief summary (4-5 sentences) of each source used within your paper. Explain the credibility, bias, and accuracy of your source and identify any logical fallacies. Here is a sample entry from an argument about child labor in Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poem “Cry of the Children.”
Horrell, Sara and Jane Humphries. “Child Labour and British Industrialization.” A Thing of the Past? Child Labour in Britain in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries, edited by Michael Lavalette, St. Martin’s, 1999, pp. 76-100.
Horrell and Humphries present an exploration of child labor in Britain (i.e. Scotland, North Ireland, England, and Wales) during the Industrial Revolution. The authors provide useful statistics on the dynamics of child labor in relation to male-dominated households, female-dominated households, and the contributions of child laborer income to each. Also, they feature a section on legislation specific to child labor issues, which is needed to create my argument that Elizabeth Barrett Browning was commenting on contemporary issues in her poem. The source uses academic evidence to establish their credibility and remain unbiased. No logical fallacies could be detected.
Post your annotated bibliography as a Word document attachment to this discussion board to share your research with your fellow students. Feel free to use this forum as a sounding board for developing your research argument. Keep in mind that you have specific source requirements (2 academic books, 1 academic article/essay, 1 academic website).
I will grade your annotated bibliography here, but the grade will factor into your overall research paper grade as well.
You are not required to post replies, but feel free to. Let me know if you have any questions.
