For your research paper, you will need to write an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is a citation listing with a summary and evaluation of the text you are reviewing.

 

You need to review 10 separate, reliable texts. Each text should be in alphabetical order on a separate page and provide the following answers (a minimum of 10 pages). Each source should be a source from the HCCS database, a book, or a peer-reviewed journal. For more information on evaluating sources, refer to LBH pages 590-604:

Every Page (including Page 1):

Step One:

List the MLA citation of the text (double-spaced, hanging indent; one-inch borders).

 

Step Two:

1.             Provide a one paragraph summary of the text. (minimum 3 sentences)

Step Three:

Provide a complete evaluation of the text using complete and explanatory sentences:

2.             Is it reliable (why/why not)?

3.             Does the age of the text matter (why/why not)?

4.             Is it objective, biased, or subjective (why/why not)?

Step Four:

Provide a reflection of the text with an explanation:

5.             How might you use this text in your essay?

6.             Has it changed your opinion about your working thesis (why/why not)?

 

When you complete your 1500 word essay, you will only need to use a minimum of 4 of these 10 sources. There will be a minimum of 8 parenthetical citations in your Research Paper and 4 works cited. Some parenthetical citations will be from the same texts.
