DePaul University How Do Food Policies Affect Us Annotated Bibliography

 

my research theme question : How Do Our Food Choices Affect Society? How Do Food Policies Affect Us?

For this activity you will write a short, two-source annotated bibliography, similar to what is described in The Little Seagull Handbook, chapter W-14.

First, use the search databases found at the Ivy Tech Library websiteLinks to an external site. to find two sources relevant to your class’s closed research theme question.

These two sources should offer new data, information, perspectives, arguments, and/or insights that are not already found in your class’s closed research theme readings and background readings and that you think will help you compose fresh arguments in response to the closed research theme question.

NOTE: For this activity, you may NOT use the CQ Researcher database to find your sources.

Second, write your mini annotated bibliography.

For each source, write an MLA style or APA style source citation (as specified by your instructor). 

After each source citation, write an evaluative annotation of the source. Each annotation should provide a concise description and summary of the source AND evaluate the source’s usefulness or relevance to the closed research theme question, its credibility, and its balance or bias. (See The Little Seagull Handbook, chapter W-14 a guide for writing an evaluative annotation.) Each annotation should be about 150-200 words.

Your mini-annotated bibliography needs to be formatted and documented in MLA or APA style, as specified by your instructor. This includes headers; title page (for APA style) or name, course, instructor, and date block and title (for MLA style); double-spacing of ALL text; and hanging indents for source citations. Also be sure to alphabetize  your source citations.

  • Briefly explain the angles or problems you are interested in pursuing in response to the closed research theme question for Writing Project 3: Argument.
  • Introduce your peers to your selected background reading or source you found using an Ivy Tech Library website search database.  Explain how you think you could use this background reading or research source to answer your personal questions about the closed research theme and/or provide evidence for arguments you could make about the closed research theme question. Also, what new ideas, information, contradictions, or corroboration do you see in this source that you did not see addressed yet in the closed research theme readings? You are encouraged to provide relevant “They Say” summaries or quotes from the background reading or research source that you could use as evidence to support or validate your explanation.
