Prof. Allen; Eng. 101 FALL 2023: Annotated Bibliography

Creating an annotated bibliography calls for the application of a variety of intellectual skills: concise exposition, succinct analysis, and informed library research.

List each of your sources in MLA works cited format. Below every source, write 1-2 paragraphs in which you:

• Summarize the basic claim of the source.
• Respond to the source (agree, disagree, raise questions, etc.).
• Plan. Explain how you will use this source in your research paper.
• Synthesize. Explain the way this work fits in - or challenges - other information you have about the topic.

You need enough sources to address your research question from a variety of perspectives.

• One source must be a peer-reviewed journal.
• Once source must oppose/complicate or disagree with your position.
• At least half of your sources must be from a different author or publication.

Any source without an author(s) or blog site where the author's expertise cannot be established is not acceptable.
