Instruction: Annotated Bibliography Assignment

Purpose: As a researcher, you are becoming an expert on your topic: you are developing the ability to explain the content of your sources, assess their usefulness, and share this information with others who may be less familiar with them. One goal of the annotated bibliography is to promote your critical reading of sources. Another is to develop your skills in effective internet and library research. This assignment will also
give you practice in properly citing and documenting sources in compliance with the rules of a documentation system (MLA).

Assignment: Once you have identified a specific research topic of your choosing (think of what you would want to do a theoretical research paper on), this assignment asks you to create an evaluative annotated bibliography containing a total of two (2) potential sources of works that we have covered in class (the two works that you and your partner have selected this session). Your six sources will include four (4) sources from scholarly journals. Encyclopedias and dictionaries do not count for this assignment, only sources from any of the Texas College databases to substantiate your argument of theme with the proper MLA citation.

Question 1: Describe the main ideas, arguments, themes, theses, or methodology, and identify the intended audience.
Question 2: Explain the author's expertise, point of view, and any bias he/she may have.
Question 3: Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each source.
Question 4: Identify how the source will or may be used for your research topic.
