Must be on the topic of The American War for Independence: Treason or Justified Rebellion. You will inevitably be on the side of the United States, but you must use both supportive and opposing views for the project. This is just for an annotated bibliography. I will attach the resources previously provided, the example for this project, and the full instrutional document.
Instructions
Based on the topic you chose for the American History Opposing Viewpoints Project: Summary Assignment, conduct a search for:
A scholarly book written by an academic in the field of history. Scholarly books should be located from the Jerry Falwell Library (avoid selecting children’s books!).
A peer-reviewed journal article focused on your topic. Peer-reviewed journal articles should be located from the Jerry Falwell Library (avoid selecting book reviews!).
A scholarly website – look for sites with URLs that end in .edu (university), .gov (government), or .org (organization), as these are deemed more reliable for academic research. (Avoid websites with URLs that end in “.com,” as they are commercial websites and not appropriate for academic research at the college level).
*As you search for sources keep in mind a key component of this assignment is to locate sources that include opposing viewpoints related to the topic you chose.
Once you have located the three required sources, format a reference for each according to current Turabian style guidelines. For help with Turabian formatting, please refer to the “Writing Style Guide” (the link for this helpful resource is conveniently located in Blackboard).
Next, underneath each reference, write an annotation (an assessment of the source) of at least 75 words. Each annotation should include a brief summary of the content of the source, the credentials of the author or source, and an evaluation of the usefulness of the source.
