Assignment 13: Diving in, Part II
Read the two new sources. As you read, employ the strategies you developed in the previous unit. Take note of additional questions that emerge from your reading.
WRITE
In the same Word or Google doc that you began in Assignment 12, write annotations for each new source.
As before, your annotations should include observations about the sources’ arguments (use some of the terms you used for Assignment 5) and rhetorical situations (sources’ audiences, purposes, and context), they should explain the sources’ relevance to your inquiry, and they should pose new questions for further inquiry.
Then, re-submit the updated document for this assignment.
Annotated Bibliography Expectations (for ENGL121)
- Each annotation should include a brief summary. Then, from there, you will state the following:
- How this source answers or addresses your research question – how it contributes to your understanding of the ongoing conversations surrounding this topic
- How the source connects with or conflicts with other sources (synthesis)
- What role(s) this source may play in your next (argumentative) essay
- Why you trust this source
Below is an awkward paragraph that demonstrates how this information can be included in one annotation paragraph. The most effective annotation paragraphs will not copy and paste from this template but will reword the information in order to make it more coherent and logical.
