Project 1— Read Annotated Bibliography Assignment Information
You must create four (4) annotated bibliography entries formatted into an alphabetized list as a single document.
Your references/resources must come from four different genres: a newspaper, a peer reviewed professional or academic journal, a popular publication (such as Time, The Atlantic, etc.), and a U.S. government publication (maybe a census report, a white paper, an online report, factual information–go to .gov for help and see our course lib guides).
Be prepared to spend a great deal of time looking for references/resources. You may download and use this worksheet
Actions
to help you collect the details necessary to create the citations and to help you write the annotations. You do not turn in the worksheet, but use it for your own purposes. Also pay attention to the following:
Line spacing and indentation matters
For the citation, punctuation, italics, and MLA requirements for information inclusion matters.
Alphabetize the list by first information in the citation
The 4 sources must include 2 found through ASU’s library databases and 2 sources found either through ASU libraries or through other search practices
one academic periodical found through ASU’s library databases
one non-academic periodical (like a newspaper) found through ASU’s library databases
one video or other filmic medium (a short or full length documentary would work)
one online publication (Like a blog or other website; Wikipedia or other wikis are NOT ALLOWED)
Each annotated bibliography entry is constructed in two parts: the citation and the annotation. See our textbook reading on pages and our course Annotated Bibliography FAQs for more details.
Document style is MLA formatted for Annotated Bibliography, which includes an information identification left header and a document title.
The document title (center alignment) should include the words Annotated Bibliography: [followed by the semester topic]. For example: Annotated Bibliography: Insufficient Hourly Parking at ASU.
The following should appear under the title (left alignment): A working thesis statement for Project 2, the report and another working thesis statement for Project 3, the propose solution argument. See student sample P1 draft.

Annotation questions:
What do I write in the annotation?
Scroll down to the “combination” example on the from Massasoit Community CollegeLinks to an external site. example (please note the citation uses MLA 7 formatting, which is outdated and therefore not to be used in ENG108). https://library.massasoit.edu/annotatedbib/mla
Also see Cornell linkLinks to an external site.
https://guides.library.cornell.edu/critically_analyzing
I see annotations described as descriptive, evaluative, and analytical. What subgenre of annotation should I write?
Combine subgenres to include descriptive and evaluative writing. The combination produces an annotation that provides the required content for Project One, which in turn helps you keep track of sources for your Projects Two and Three. The annotation is designed to help you remember not only the information the source provides, but how you responded to it.
Can I use first person in my annotation?
Your use of first person should be limited, but can be used as in this example of evaluative annotationLinks to an external site. (scroll down to the “combination” example–note the annotation section “usefulness to my research”)
How long should my annotation be?
Your annotation should be about 150 words.
Citation questions:
Where can I learn how to format my citation?
Check our textbook pages or look at this video
produced bythe Purdue OwlLinks to an external site..
The video explains the elements of a citation, how to find those elements in or on a source text, and how to format the citation to correctly include the elements that make finding that resource possible for your readers.
This linkLinks ( https://www.lib.ncsu.edu/citationbuilder/#/default/modern-language-association-8) to an external site. will take you to a citation generator tool. Be warned: it only works well for you if you insert the correct information in the appropriate box.

What if the source does not have an author’s name (unknown author)?
Begin the citation with the work’s (source’s) title.
What if the source does not have a date of publication?
If there is no date, use the abbreviation (n. d.).
URL questions:

Module 2: P1 Student sample DRAFT
The link below provides a sample of the P1 Annotated Bibliography assignment. The document is formatted in MLA style. The document is in draft form, which means that while it looks complete, it is a work in progress and subject to revision. This draft is the only sample provided for P1.
Notice the following:
Line spacing
Inclusion of working draft thesis for Project 2 and Project 3 (working draft means the statement is subject to revision, but it shows me you are thinking ahead)
Hanging indent
Alphabetical order of the sources (by first either last name of the author or the title of the article)
The source distribution: peer review academic article, newspaper article, YouTube video, online website (see the assignment requirements located Module 2)
The content of the annotation suggests how the student values the source and plans to use it (again, this could change as you draft your written work)
