Annotated Bibliography
Annotated bibliographies ordinarily provide interested readers with synopses of recent or important scholarly work or trade publications within a relatively narrow field of study. Completing the annotated bibliography should familiarize you with key terms, ideas and debates associated with a given topic.
For the purposes of this course, you will compose two annotated bibliographies. One annotated bibliography is collaborative: each group will work together to provide summaries of all required readings (those listed in the Readings) in a single document. |

The second annotated bibliography will mirror the first, but instead of providing summaries of each reading, you will provide thoughtful responses to each of the readings, and you will include citations and responses to any additional readings you draw from in the composition of the First Analysis.
You will hand in both annotated bibliographies when you hand in your portfolio in Dropbox. For instance, you will hand in one single annotated bibliography in which all the required readings have been collaboratively summarized by your group members, and then you will also hand in your individually composed annotated bibliography. So, a group of three students will hand in a total of four documents. Each student will earn up to 100 points for this assignment, 50 points of which will be earned collaboratively, and 50 points individually. |
Formatting Requirements
Make both the collaborative and individually written annotated bibliographies single-spaced.
All sources must be cited correctly (using MLA or APA) in both documents, and in alphabetical order.
