Annotated Bibliography Assignment

Due 10/10/18

For our next writing assignment, you need to include at least three sources. Two of these must be from outside of our class. To help in the process of choosing your sources, we will be creating annotated bibliographies.

An annotation is a summary and/or evaluation.

A bibliography is a list of sources one has used for researching a topic.

Your annotated bibliography should do the following:

· Summarize: Some annotations merely summarize the source. What are the main arguments? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say? The length of your annotations will determine how detailed your summary is.

· Assess: After summarizing a source, it may be helpful to evaluate it. Is it a useful source? How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source?

· Reflect: Once you've summarized and assessed a source, you need to ask how it fits into your research. Was this source helpful to you? 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?

Do not just annotate the first two articles you find. Read a few articles and then narrow it down.

See the reverse side of this page for an example of what an entry should look like. This will feature an example we constructed together in class.

Horovitz argues that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a good thing because corporations can actually benefit from engaging in CSR initiatives. They can create profit opportunities and help the corporations maintain a positive public image. Horovitz also argues that consumers benefit from CSR initiatives because they direct corporations to behave in more ethical ways. Horovitz gives several real world examples of corporations that have engaged in CSR campaigns and discusses both the successes and failures associated with those campaigns. Some of the corporations discussed in this article include Ben and Jerry’s, Nordstrom, and Starbucks. The goal of this article seems to be to convince the reader that CSR is good for both corporations and society. This article seems to be in direct conflict with the arguments made in the Freeland article. This article could be useful to establish a basic background explanation of what CSR is and why some companies choose to participate in it. It may be useful as a part of my introduction section. I agree with some of the ideas that Horovitz presents in this article. -OR- I disagree completely with Horovitz’s argument because...
