Proposal (500 words and annotated bibliography)
- Outline your topic – introduce your topic and begin to describe it in detail. Why is this topic important to write about? What does this topic question or challenge?
- Include a thesis – This is very IMPORTANT. Make sure you have 1 – 2 sentences that answers the question: What am I arguing for or against in this paper?
- Outline your sources and framework – What sources are helping you “think through” this topic? How have other authors framed this topic? Do you agree or disagree with them?
Annotated Bibliography
- What is an annotated bibliography?
- A bibliography is a list of the research sources you use in your paper (books, articles, etc.). An annotation is simply a note that summarizes/evaluates a text. Put them together to make an annotated bibliography!
- Pick a minimum of 3 academic sources
- Cite each source in MLA style
- Annotate each citation with 1 – 3 sentences that answer the following:
- Summarize – what are the main arguments of this text? What topics are covered?
- Evaluate – Is it useful for your paper? How does it compare with other sources in your bib? Is this information reliable? What are the goals of the text?
- Reflect – Was this source helpful? How does it help you shape your argument? How can you use this source in your research project? Has it changed how you think about your topic?
- Be concise!
- Your source annotations should be concise (1-2 short paragraphs)
- All of this is on Purdue OWL —> yay! This is a formatted example of what your annotated bibliography should look like. Pay attention to formatting!
Final Paper
- While you will have some creative freedom in what you choose to write about, a significant portion of your course grade is an 1800 word (approximately 6 double-spaced pages) re- search paper. It must directly relate to course concepts. Your paper must include an intro- duction, conclusion, minimum of three in-text citations, a bibliography, a thesis statement, and evidence that advances your argument throughout the paper. You are welcome to use non-academic sources to supplement the three minimum scholarly sources.
