INSTRUCTIONS
Complete your research for Paper #2 and compose an annotated bibliography detailing that research in the MLA style. Your annotated bibliography should include roughly double the number of sources which you intend to cite in the paper, comprising all of the research that you think could be useful in a draft. Use the examples in section 2.26 as your model for composing your own annotated bibliography. It should include every source you intend to use, plus some that you may elect to use, plus the main source which you are analyzing. I expect most students to use roughly 3-5 sources to draft Paper #2, meaning that you should include 6-10 sources minimum in your annotated bibliography.

OVERVIEW
An annotated bibliography is a list that details the research you have conducted, with an explanation of how and why you intend to you the sources you have researched. The goal is to foreground the research process – to complete your research before writing the paper. In this way, you will then be able to write in an informed way that effectively utilizes your research and achieves your writing goal. In most academic writing, you should complete your research before writing a draft. Doing so constitutes good scholarship. Compiling an annotated bibliography ensures that you do so.
