Your assignment:
Develop an Annotated Bibliography using at least THREE relevant sources from the GMC
Library.
Remember that you are writing a paper on literature, so while you may find a historical
document important to your research if you are performing a Historical Analysis, your
sources should generally come from the Literary Resource Center in the GMC Library.
Your bibliography will come in two parts:
1. A 100-word (or more) discussion on a text (or texts) from the
course, and the critical perspective you plan to use in order to
create a strong, detailed, analytical thesis statement.
2. 3-5 MLA Citations, with 200-word annotations for each
(annotations include the following elements):
a. Initial Appraisal
b. Content Analysis
First, you will write 100+ words explaining the text(s) you’ve chosen to analyze and why, as
well as the critical perspective you intend to use. While choosing your text or texts, pick one of
the following options:
• A topic focusing on one of the texts from class (if only writing on one text, try to focus on a
different work than the ones you wrote on for Response Papers 1 and 2 unless getting my
approval first).
• A topic focusing on multiple texts (no more than 3) by the same author
• A topic focusing on multiple texts (but no more than two) by differentauthors
Then, you will write your annotated bibliography. For the citation for each source, carefully
follow the MLA format provided by the Purdue Owl. For each source annotation, be sure to
read the materials in week 5’s Online Learning Resources for help with bibliographies and
annotations. The annotations will consist of the following:
a. Initial Appraisal (50-75 words)
You may address things like: What are the author’s credentials,
educational background, or experience? Is the source current or out-ofdate for your topic? Is the writing affiliated with any academic institutions,
corporations, organizations, etc?
a. Content Analysis (150-200 words)
You will ANALYZE the source, asking questions like: How is this work
relevant to your chosen text? What is a particularly strong quote from this
source? Why would it be helpful to your thesis idea? Does the source related
to the critical perspective you’ve chosen? Specifically, your analysis should
address the portions of the source that relate directly to what you are
discussing; you don’t need to speak to the entire document unless all of it is
relevant to your claim.
As with all your submissions, this is a formal assignment that should be submitted using
MLA format for style, spacing, heading, pagination, etc. |
