Part Three of, Role Reversals: Understanding Our Gendered Selves:

Annotated Bibliography

3-4 pages (750-1200 words)

All parts of this project should be formatted in APA style (follow for both essay and citation styles):  APA Style Guide: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

Purpose: Identify and present academic sources that will help contextualize and understand your act.

Reviewing the work of other people will make your thoughts about the act clearer and more precise. You must use the online library resources at UMUC for this part of the assessment. 

Please note that only academic journal articles are acceptable for this assignment (Web sites, magazines, and newspaper articles are not acceptable). You must learn how to use the library for academic research for this assignment--this is not a Google search.

For Part 3, you need to

1. Locate a minimum of five academic sources through the UMUC Library databases written within the last ten years.

2. Explain the main objectives of the authors.

3. Discuss how the information relates to your act in particular and to gender issues in general. All summary information and discussion must be presented in complete sentences.

4. Follow American Psychological Association (APA) guidelines on writing citations and references.

Here are some basic instructions for library research on gender issues:

1. Go to the UMUC Library's list of Subject Guides:  http://www.umuc.edu/library/libresources/subjects.cfm#subjects

2. Select Sociology, Women's Studies, or a related field.

3. In the Subject Guide you've chosen, select one of the recommended library research databases.

4. Search your chosen database for a relevant full-text article ("full-text" means you can read the entire article online).

5. You can also input key words into Library OneSearch, and narrow the results from there.

6. Search for full-text articles (if you do not search full-text, you will not be able to read the full article).
