Annotated Biography (7Books and 13 peer reviewed articles)
Annotated Bibliography
Write annotations for 20 scholarly sources (7 books, 13 peer reviewed articles) related to your research
paper. Annotations should be roughly 1 paragraph in length (about 150-250 words) and adequately
summarize the source: beyond the summary you must also evaluate your source. Include for each
source a proper bibliographic citation (in MLA style). You should seek out books, book chapters, and
scholarly articles. While you may inform yourself informally with newspaper articles, blog discussions,
and other popular media, you may not use these as sources. Nor should you cite scholarly or other
editions of the text on which you write your essay. Introductions to scholarly editions are certainly
useful and can offer a great deal of information (and I encourage you to use them), but for this
assignment I want you to seek out essays on your text beyond prefatory or introductory material in
editions. You should use the MLA International Bibliography, Academic Search Premier and/or PsychInfo
( available as an online database through the library), as well as bibliographies in articles, chapters,
books, and editions that you read. You might use GOOGLE Scholar, but you should understand the
limitation of this kind of searching. Turn in your electronic copy of annotations in a document ( docx,
.doc. or pdf) on Canvas. An electronic copy of your annotations must be turned in on the date due (April
13, 2017). This will be grade on a points scale- up to 100.
*I will also need a photocopy of the cover page of the books you are examining and the first page of the
journal article. ( I should receive an electronic copy of this information turn in to me no later than
4/13/2017.)*
You also need a one page introduction that briefly describes your research topic and the literature you
found (i.e., patterns, contradictions, etc.). The introduction should be 300- to -500 words.
Remember to make sure all information submitted is in MLA format!
