ENGL 1302 Project #2: Annotated Bibliography Description An annotated bibliography is a list of sources with notations. After receiving approval of your proposed topic, you will compose a list of quality sources. You will then “describe each of the sources . . . and state what role each will play in your research.” For this assignment, you will “evaluate sources as well—to assess their strengths and weaknesses” (Lunsford et al., 500). The audience for this assignment is yourself and your instructor. Your writing task is to inform through description, summary, and evaluation. Your annotated bibliography should include a minimum of 4 quality sources (unless you have spoken with the instructor regarding availability of sources). Use the information from the OWL at Purdue and your assigned readings to learn more about annotated bibliographies. You may also refer to the OWL at Purdue for APA formatting guidelines. Objectives Develop habits of intellectual exploration, personal responsibility, and physical wellbeing Read, reflect, and respond critically to a variety of texts Demonstrate knowledge of individual writing processes Communicate ideas and support conclusions effectively in writing Use Edited American English Prompt Find, read, and correctly cite a minimum of 4 sources.
