MLA paper & Annotated bibliography

Annotated Bibliography Guidelines

Your task is to find scholarly resources you plan to use in the final assignment, the argument paper.

***********************************************************************

Your annotated bibliography should meet the following criteria:

You should create annotations for five sources that you might use in your argument paper. Your sources should come from the FTCC Library or other libraries you have access to. You are also allowed to use websites ending in .edu, .gov, .mil, or .org. If you cannot find sources, contact your instructor immediately for help. Call the library for help, too. The librarians can help you find sources.

In the first paragraph, summarize the source. Then, discuss how you will use the source in the paper. Each annotation should be about 150-200 words. Your summaries should be written in 3rd person.

One goal of the argument paper is to present at least two sides of the issues. At least one of your sources in this assignment should address an opposing view. The opposing view often disagrees with the stance you take on the issue.

Format your bibliography according to MLA guidelines. Please review the sample annotation.
