Length Requirement: at least five sources, three of which must be scholarly (peer-reviewed)
Writing Task: Use MLA style to make an annotated bibliography that lists and annotates sources for your final research paper.
As you annotate, evaluate each source, and relate your sources to each other. For examples of annotated bibliographies, review the Introduction to Step Five: Research, “Formatting Your Annotated Bibliography.”
In your annotated bibliography:
1. Title your annotated bibliography so that both the social problem you are addressing and the solution you are proposing are clear to the reader.
2. Include at least five sources.
3. At least three of your sources must be peer reviewed or scholarly.
4. Annotations should be 3-7 sentences (roughly 120-150 words) each.
5. Use a valid file type for Turnitin (Microsoft Word, Acrobat PDF, Postscript, Text, HTML, WordPerfect (WPD) and Rich Text Format)
6. For this annotated bibliography, as long as you have at least three scholarly sources, you may reuse sources from your Formal Essay: Define the Problem that you plan to use in Final Essay: Solve the Problem. You are not required to use every source in your annotated bibliography when you write your final paper.
7. Do not copy the abstracts (summaries) that are sometimes given at the start of scholarly articles. The purpose of this exercise is for you to understand a source well enough to describe it in your own words.
