This assignment accompanies your research paper assignment, so make sure you understand those requirements. Follow these guidelines when constructing your essay: Locate the five sources required for your research paper (excluding the story that is provoking you). As a reminder, this includes the following: o One book (printed, published, physicalnot an e-book) o One e-book (from library database) o One article (from library database) o One Film-on-Demand (from library database) Note: If you cant find a Film-on-Demand, come see me and Ill give you an alternate optionbut you must let me know in advance! o One credible website These must be the same five sources you use in your research paperonce you complete this assignment, you cannot switch sources! Include an introduction that explains your research papers topic and why its relevant (see example on pg. 155 of your Norton textbook) Include a Works Cited citation entry for each source (make sure they are correct MLA format and alphabetized) o Be certain that you include the library database from where you retrieved the article when relevantotherwise, I may not be able to find it and cannot verify it is correct, in which case you may not receive full credit! Under each Works Cited entry, include the following: o A paragraph that summarizes the source o A paragraph that evaluates the source (i.e. why is it credible, trustworthy, etc.?) o A paragraph that explains how the source will be used in your essay (i.e. what point of yours will it support? Will it be part of the counterargument instead? How will you incorporate it adequately?) * See the example on pgs. 157-158 of your Norton textbook or the example on D2L. Cite/quote from each source when discussing it (can be in summary, evaluation, or how youll use paragraphchoice is yours as long as theres one direct quote from each source)

Turning in Your Annotated Bibliography

Since I am not collecting drafts of this assignment, you must make sure your final copy is in my hands OR in Turnitin.com by 5:00 p.m. on the due date. (With either one of these two submissions, your work will be turned in.) You then have until the next class meeting to turn in the other copy. If I do not have both the hard copy and the Turnitin submission within 48 hours of the due date, you will not get credit for itno exceptions. Remember, the Turnitin submission must match the hard copy as well.

Rubric for Scoring Annotated Bibliography (100 points)

Scale: 12.5 = perfect/excellent, 10 = good, 7.5 = fair, 0 = poor or missing 12.5 Introduction clearly explains purpose of research paper and the topics relevance today Summary of each source is objective, thorough, and adequate Evaluation of each source is logical, well-explained, and adequate/effective Explanation of how source will be used in essay is logical, appropriate, wellexplained, and effective In-text citations (quotes) are included, formatted correctly, properly framed, and used effectively Essay is well-organized and follows 3-paragraph structure as assigned Vocabulary, language use, and word choices are correct and appropriate Note: You should avoid second-person (you, your, youre)! Grammar, spelling, and mechanics demonstrate correct use of Standard Edited American English In addition to the rubric categories above, you will also lose one point for each MLA format error in the citation entries themselves. This means if a comma is missing, a space is missing, quotation marks are missing/incorrect, you lose one point for each of those errorsyou can end up with a poor grade very quickly on MLA format alone, so I suggest you take your time to ensure accuracy!
Please consult your essay for details; if you do not understand a comment I made, please dont hesitate to come see me during office hours to discuss your essay. (Note: Scores that end in .5 will be rounded up to the next whole number.)
