To prepare for your research paper, you will submit an annotated bibliography that contains at least 5 secondary sources. These sources should be on the topic/reading that you chose in Week 5’s Research Topic Proposal, as you’ll use these sources in your Final Research Paper as support for your topic/claims.
These sources should come ONLY from the GMC library databases. Your best bet is to search the two literature databases first, but other general academic databases (such as JSTOR) may yield good results for your topic, as well.
For each source of the 5 sources you find, you will provide the MLA reference and a paragraph-long annotation.
Sources
You must provide at least five sources.
Each source should be a critical argument on the reading you’ve chosen for your research paper. Sources that only provide biographical information or plot summary are unacceptable. The source MUST provide an argument.
Annotations
The annotation for each source should be a paragraph in length (at least 150 words).
You must include a brief summary of the source. This summary should include the author’s thesis.
You must provide an analysis of how you may use the source in your paper.
