for Writing Project 1--Making an Annotated Bibliography
For your first writing project, I am asking each of you to
compile an annotated bibliography on your research project--your conspiracy
theory. So, essentially the job here is to locate at least 10 sources (remember
no tertiary sources) and then construct a bibliographic entry for each, along
with some narrative thoughts regarding each source.
An annotated bibliography is a way for researchers to gather
together and evaluate sources. It can be an essential part of the research
project, especially for projects that require the assembly of a large numbers
of sources. The basic idea is to list each source you are using in a
bibliographic format and then write a paragraph (4 to 7 sentences) or so about the source, which
should include any history regarding the source, the relevance of the source to
your research, and its ethos or reliability.
For information on how to format and assemble an annotated
bibliography, check this link to Purdue University's On-line Writing Lab or
OWL: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/03/
Each person in your research group should come up with at
least 10 sources, and the 10 accompanying paragraphs of analysis on each
source.
These writing projects should be in
12 pt. Times/New Roman font with 1 inch margins all around. These can be either
single or double-spaced.
