For Paper #4, you will need to incorporate at least 56 sources into your writing. You will also need to construct an annotated bibliography to document your research efforts. This assignment will be due by Friday, August 9, 11:59pm, two days before you will need to submit the rough draft of your paper.
Instructions
Complete an annotated bibliography containing at least 3 of the 56 sources you plan on including in Paper #4. To complete this assignment, you must have already chosen a paper prompt, started your research, and written an informal outline. Your annotated bibliography needs to include the following:
A statement of scope. This is a brief introductory statement explaining the context for the bibliography and the reasons for compiling it. You will want to address the topic prompt you have chosen to write on and the direction of your papers argument. This statement should be 1paragraph long. Complete bibliographic information. In your annotated bibliography, you will need to provide complete information for each source you will be using in your paper. In doing so, you will need to use one documentation system, which in the case of an English class, will be MLA style.
Consistent presentation. Your annotated bibliography should be written in complete sentences and paragraphs.
Summary and evaluation. For each annotation, you will need to both summarize and evaluate your source.
