ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY
Task: In addition to the “Works Cited” page that is part of your researched argument, you will need to compile an annotated bibliography of at least 10 items from 4 different types of sources, which indicate your research for the final research paper. Source types include professional journals, newspapers, books, videos, interviews, mainstream magazines, electronic sources, and etc. Please exclude reference books and encyclopedias, including online encyclopedias as they tend to be too general and not in depth enough for this assignment. I would suggest that you avoid the use of Wikipedia as its information is often based upon hearsay and popular sentiment rather than credible fact. Wikipedia might be a good place to get a brief overview and can often lead you to serious resources, but I suggest you use this resource with great caution. Remember that it is an encyclopedia in any case. Your research for the final argument needs to be balanced with equal representation from credible, authoritative sources from each side of your chosen issue. Each entry must be complete with a proper MLA citation and a short 5 to 7 sentence summary and response (critique) (refer to provided example). All sources referred to in your final paper must be part of the annotated bibliography. The annotated bibliography should be compiled alphabetically by author. Please refer to information covered in class and in your handbook for details and examples of citation and documentation using MLA conventions etc.
Example of annotated bibliography entry:
Angell, Marcia. “The Supreme Court and Physician-Assisted Suicide–The Ultimate Right.”
Dialogues: An Argument Rhetoric and Reader. 3rd edition. Eds. Gary Goshgarian, Kathleen
Krueger, and Janet Barnett Minc. New York: Longmam, 2000. 500-07. Print.
Marcia Angell, a pathologist and medical ethicist, discusses the legal and ethical issues surrounding Physician Assisted Suicide (PAS). Arguing that patients should have autonomy, Angell covers all of the standard claims in favor of PAS from a medical and legal perspective. She acknowledges Kevorkian from an informational perspective without discussing his situation in depth and without taking sides in his case. Angell is clearly in favor of PAS. Drawing from court decisions and professional journal articles; she uses a point-by-point format with herself as expert. The unusual feature in this article is Angell’s personal testimony of her father’s suicide following a terminal illness. This is a solid professional article from a credible proponent of PAS. This essay is useful in that it explores each side of the issues surrounding PAS and will offer a lot of background for my paper.
I need you to find 10 sercouces and provide a paragraph of the source and the author just like in the example mentioned above. the paper needs to be about video games and its impacts on people, and how it can be useful in education and helping with the person’s skills and brain devolopment. im willing to pay $20 and it needs to be about 4 to 5 pages. a week later, i will be posting another homework about the same assignenmet for the research paper of the resources.
