Annotated Bibliography
To prepare for your research paper, you will submit an annotated bibliography that contains at
least 5 secondary sources. These sources should come ONLY from the GMC library databases.
For each source, you will provide a paragraph-long annotation.
Your annotated bibliography will be graded on the following rubric:
Sources 10 points
Annotations 20 points
MLA Style 15 points
Mechanics, Grammar, and Punctuation 5 points
Sources
You must provide at least five sources
Each source should be a critical argument on the reading you've chosen for your research
paper. Sources that only provide biographical information or plot summary are
unacceptable. The source MUST provide an argument.
Annotations
The annotation for each source should be a paragraph in length (at least 150 words).
You must include a brief summary of the source. This summary should include the
author's thesis.
You must provide an analysis of how you may use the source in your paper.
For more information on how to write an annotated bibliography, you should view the
Purdue OWL's website here: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/01/.
MLA Style
Your bibliography should be formatted according to MLA format.
For each source, you must provide an MLA citation. Too see how to cite an article from
an online database, you should view the following website:

All written assignments should be mechanically and grammatically correct with proper
punctuation.

Writing Resources page: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/1/.
