An annotated bibliography is basically a list of research sources that includes a short summary. The purpose of the annotated bibliography assignment is to increase your familiarity with the research process and with MLA formatting requirements.
Find two credible print sources
PART 1: Annotated List of Research Sources
❖ First, write a bibliographic entry for each of the two sources (exactly how you would list it on a works cited page).
❖ Apply MLA documentation style. Please consult A Canadian Writer’s Reference.
❖ Second, write two to three sentences to comment on the author’s credibility and the source’s value to your subject matter (why you feel it’s a good source to use).
PART 2: Integrating a Quotation and a Paraphrase (you will have to check MLA style rules in A Canadian Writer’s Reference):
.❖ Find a 2 to 3 line passage in ONE of your 2 sources.
❖ Completely write out the original passage and then do the following with the SAME passage (don’t forget documentation):
Introduce it as a quotation (copy word for word with quote marks) and cite it (as you would within an essay.
Then, introduce it (the same passage) as a paraphrase (put it into your own words without quotes) and cite it (as you would within an essay).
Research Essay Topic Options (Choose annotated bibliography topic from the following):
1) Research the role of the media in promoting (intentionally or not) the sexualization of girls or the “hyper machismo” image of boys with respect to games, toys and/or other products. Please deal with either girls or boys, but not both, and choose one form of the media or product to keep a strong focus to your topic.
2) Research sustainable farming in Canada (for example, the advantages of grass-fed or grazed beef vs. feedlot beef) and the practices that are or could be put in place in Canada to encourage sustainability.
3) Research the role of music (rap, hip hop, jazz, or classical) as a means of therapy or empowerment for a particular portion of the population in Canada, such as “at risk” youth, Aboriginal youth, or Alzheimer’s patients.
4) Find writers who support the idea of teaching abstinence in schools, and others who believe that sex education, including information on contraceptive methods, is better for students. Take ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER and defend your position, using the most compelling supporting points you have found. Please remember that this is NOT a comparison essay so do NOT compare the two. You must choose only ONE of them to advocate.
5) If a youth commits a crime, who is ultimately responsible? At what age should we consider a person fully responsible for his or her actions? Should we admit that society has a role in the development of every youth and that when a youth commits a crime, it is a failure of the system as a whole? Explore this idea and form an argument concerning who is responsible for youth crime.
6) Who should shoulder the cost of education? Is it a public responsibility, or is it up to the individual student who benefits? Consider the depth of loans students leave school with. Write a well-reasoned persuasive essay defending your position.
