Assignment 2: Annotated Bibliography
TOPIC: discriminatory behavior toward the LGBTQ community – you are currently writing paper for me on this.
Due: July 10th
Annotated Bibliography based on a topic for the Final Project: discriminatory behavior toward the LGBTQ community
A minimum of 5 peer-reviewed sources and 5 popular open-web (peer-reviewed and credible sources; e.g., government) sources will need to be used in the bibliography.
**An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation (please do not copy and paste the abstracts). The information must be in your own words (at least 80%; no more than 20% should be quoted).
The completed assignment will include:
1) The topic that you chose: discriminatory behavior toward the LGBTQ community
2) List of search terms you used in your searches (i.e. bullying, racism in the US, etc.)
3) Annotated entries for a
minimum of 5 peer-reviewed articles and 5 popular and/or open-web sources (see below for what should be included in each entry)
Each source entry should include the following:
1) APA-formatted full reference for the source
2) Brief description of the source
(3-5 sentences
)
3) Evaluation of where the source came from - i.e. peer-reviewed journal, website, etc.
4) Brief discussion of how the source is relevant to your topic of interest and how it is reflective of the sociological perspective
(3-5 sentences
)
5) Brief discussion of the source’s strengths and weaknesses
(3-5 sentences)
NOTE that the peer reviewed article should have been published in a sociological peer reviewed journal. I recommend that you use the JSTOR database via the APUS Library to identify the peer reviewed article and limit your search by Sociology.
