Instructions

For this assignment, complete the following:

Review from the lesson and textbook readings argumentative appeals, models for argument, effective and correct use of sources, and the purposes for/examples of annotated bibliographies.  Assess any feedback provided by the professor and/or your peers from discussion.

Refer to the “Guidelines and Sample Annotated Bibliography Entry” document for success.

Compose a full and complete annotated bibliography that includes the 6 scholarly sources with which you are most likely to work as you begin drafting your essay. These may change later, as you will continually research during drafting to find more powerful sources and/or new ideas for support and opposition. You may use sources from previous assignments if you have read and re-read them and feel they are highly valuable at this point still. You will:

Compose a full, rich, detailed paragraph discussing the process you used in gathering and annotating your sources. The “Guidelines and Sample Annotated Bibliography Entry” document will guide you with required questions that you must answer for this paragraph.

Compose full APA References for six scholarly sources, ideally three that support your points and three that oppose them, but no fewer than two opposing sources.

Write a rich annotation for each source, according to best practices studied in your readings and according to the instructions on the ”Guidelines and Sample Annotated Bibliography Entry” document.

Keep in mind that your purpose is analytical. You will very briefly summarize the source in a single sentence, then move into the source’s credibility, relevance, timeliness, and usefulness, followed by detailing specific connections to your argument and points and to other sources, if applicable. By the time you have finished this assignment, you should have a very clear idea of how your argument and the conversation between your voice and your sources will play out. This assignment will also provide your instructor with a solid preview of the quality of your argument as a whole.

Before submission, proofread and edit carefully for APA, spelling, punctuation, and grammar. While you are strongly encouraged to utilize electronic proofreading and APA tools, that is just your first line of offense. You should then always perform your own careful proofreading, silently and aloud, asking others to proofread if possible.

1. Please create your own Word document and format it in proper APA.

2. Then, after your title page, compose a paragraph of approach and purpose.Answer all of the following questions in good depth and detail in this single rich paragraph: What has been your approach to finding your sources? What have you been looking for? How successful have you been? Do you plan to change strategies, and/or do you have additional specific sources or search strategies in mind?

3. After the above paragraph, begin your Annotated Bibliography.

Carefully follow all guidelines below and refer to the sample at the end.

Guidelines:

Please very carefully review your textbook, your lesson, and the discussion board for this week before beginning. The annotated bibliography is formatted in a particular manner, and there are different types of annotated bibliographies. Yours must be analytical in nature in that you are not just explaining the source’s contents, but also performing evaluations on your sources and connecting them to your own purposes.

Your sources will be in alphabetical order, all referenced in correct APA style, and each followed by a rich paragraph analyzing the source. The paragraph must be formatted according to APA standards, with correct indentations and spacing. For an example of formatting for a full annotated bibliography, see your book.

Each annotation should include a very brief overview, then a close look at specific points, ideas and information from the source that stand out to you as important in the context of your own argument. Use evidence from the source and explain how and why it is a viable source in general, and then specifically why it is valuable to you, to one of your specific points/purposes. Finally, note if the source backs or opposes other sources on your list and how. In short, dig deeply and use your annotations as preparation for structuring and drafting your paper.
