find 6-8 sources related to the issue and your research questions. After you have compiled 6-8 relevant sources for your research, refer to “Putting Together an Annotated Bibliography” in Chapter 10 for specific details about how to construct an annotated bibliography. Your annotated bibliography must include evidence that you have used NDSU’s library catalog and academic databases to locate sources. Appropriate databases include JSTOR, Project Muse, Academic Search Complete, and subject-specific databases. Your bibliography should include at least 2 peer-reviewed/scholarly sources.
For each source listed on the annotated bibliography, include:
A full citation of the source, in MLA or APA style – this should be at the top of your annotation.
Paragraph 1 – Summary
A summary of the source’s content: What are the main arguments, information, key points, and kinds of evidence used? This should be a short paragraph, approx. 3-4 sentences.
Paragraph 2-3 – Evaluation
An evaluation of the source’s credibility in specific relation to your topic (carefully review Chapters 3 and 4 in our textbook for more strategies for doing this kind of evaluation; look at “Seven Strategies to Show Your Critical Reading Skills in Writing,” in Chapter 4, for some rhetorical moves that can help you do this). In what way is this source useful and credible for your purposes and for your audience? This can be 1-2 sentences.
A discussion of the source’s usefulness to your research. How do you think the source can help you when you write about your chosen topic? This can be an additional 1-2 sentences.
A description of your overall reaction to the source. Do you have any hesitation in using this source? Does this source affirm or give you confidence about your thinking on the topic? Why do you find this source important for your purposes? This can be an additional 1-2 sentences.
Your submission should include 6-8 full annotations (follow all steps above for each annotation). Refer to Chapter 10 for additional instructions and examples of annotations.
