Write

Create an MLA formatted Annotated Bibliography that lists and annotates at least FIVE independently researched scholarly and/or critical articles on the topic you have chosen to write about. Credible sources may include scholarly articles, newspaper articles/ editorials, news organizations such as NPR or CNN, reliable websites like .gov or .edu.

Develop a tentative thesis statement. Write your thesis above your annotations.

Create an annotation for each of your sources. Each annotation should include:

an MLA formatted citation

a summary of the source in your own wording and style (about 100 words)

an evaluation of the credibility of the sources and how the source supports your argument and will fit in your essay (at least 50 words)

Put all the annotations in ONE document and format your document in MLA style. Remember to list sources in alphabetical order according to the first word of each source citation.

Submit your document as a file upload in Word, Google docs, or pdf format.
