Research Project: Annotated Bibliography
Five separate sources (minimum of three typed pages, total) on your choice of subculture or counterculture—the same as was used for your Ethnographic Essay
- An annotation is a brief summary or description of a piece of longer writing, i.e., a source
- A bibliography is a list
- The annotated bibliography begins with an introduction and ends with a conclusion
- All of the sources used in the annotated bibliography are listed in alphabetical order by the authors’ last names, the same as this is done on a works cited page
- Each annotation is double spaced
- Each annotation includes the MLA citation for the source that is being annotated. The annotation for each source is made up of, in the exact order below:
- (1) The MLA Citation for that source
- (2) Between two to four sentences that summarize the main idea or ideas of that specific source (article, book, website, etc.),
- (3) One or two sentences that connect that source (the article, book, etc.) to the topic that you are researching
- (4) One or two sentences that talk about the source’s intended audience and what they could get out of reading/watching, etc. this source.
- This is the standard format for an annotation and should be a paragraph in length.
- The annotation should include direct quotes from the source and for each quote, an in-text citation must be used to show where the quote was found. The same rule applies to paraphrasing.
- Hanging indents are used for each source. The first line of the annotation begins at the left margin of the page and each following line is indented four spaces (see sample annotated bibliography for an example of this).
- The annotation is a continuation of the source’s citation. Do not start the annotation on a new line, just keep typing until you are finished with that annotation.
- Websites can be used as a source but absolutely no Wikipedia!
- The same MLA format rules apply for an essay and an annotated bibliography including heading on the first page, header on the top right of each page, one-inch margins on all sides of each page, double spacing, 12-point font, etc.
- Like an essay, the Annotated Bibliography must have a title.
Due: The annotated bibliography will be accepted no later than Sunday, April 24, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. via Canvas submission.
