WR 121 ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ASSIGNMENT
I. First, identify the question you are exploring (sometimes called the question at issue). (You need state this question only once, at the head of your first page. It should apply to all your sources.) Your eventual claim or thesis statement will be the answer to this question.
II. Then, for at least FIVE sources, complete the following. At least one of your sources MUST be a scholarly source (that will qualify you for a C as regards the rubric); the others can be serious popular sources. Make sure to review the text regarding what constitutes a scholarly source. Most of your sources should be accessed through the library data bases.
1. Citations
Write both a correct MLA and a correct APA citation (entries for a Works Cited page and a Reference list).
Remember that citations from databases are often not correct; they need to be checked against the most recent [MLA 8th edition and APA 6th edition] guidelines in The Chemeketa Handbook and modified to match the appropriate models.
2. Retrieval of Information Write one paragraph that includes discussion of the following:
The type of source (For example, is it a book, magazine article, newspaper article, website from a reputable organization, or an academic publisher? Is it a reference work, serious popular source, or peer-reviewed scholarly source? If it is a scholarly source, from which section/s of the source was the information found?)
Reasons it appears to be this type of source
How and where the source was located (For example, was it found through a library search, library database, or general internet search?)*
*For a book, note whether it is an eBook or print copy and cite accordingly. For a database source, give the name of the database. (NOTE: Gale PowerSearch is NOT a database name). For an Internet source, give the name of the website.
3. Quality of Information Write one paragraph that includes discussion of the following:
Authority and credentials of the author(s)
Currency of the source
Reliability of information
Potential biases
4. Application of Information Based on reading each source, write two paragraphs that include the following:
a. A brief summary of the information contained in the source that is useful to the specific research
topic.
b. An explanation of how the source’s information specifically relates to the research question.
III. Quotes: Include 3-5 quotes/summaries/paraphrases that support your working thesis. Make sure you use correct APA citations.
IV. Last, using the information you have gathered from annotating these sources, revise and narrow your original research question.
