RESEARCH PAPER ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY INSTRUCTIONS
What is an annotated bibliography?
An annotated bibliography is a list of citations that can include books, articles, documents, and more. Each citation is followed by a brief descriptive and evaluative paragraph—namely, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.
Instructions
Create an Annotated Bibliography for five of the sources (not including class readings like Rise of Superman, Plato’s Republic, and Sontag’s On Photography) you found for your research papers.
Review the Research Paper prompt at the end of the syllabus for details on what kind of sources you will need.
I recommend that you look for sources about your chosen extreme sport athlete and the superheroes you plan to compare them with.
Helpful Tip: Many articles you will find through our GCC databases (Links to an external site.) have “Cite This” links that automatically put the citations into MLA format for you.
Make sure each annotation is at least 4 sentences long and answers the following questions in one unified paragraph (that does not recopy the questions):
1) What is the main argument of the source?
2) Who are the author’s and do they have the authority to speak on this subject?
3) What evidence is given to support the argument?
4) How will you use this source in your research paper? In which section of your research paper will you use this source?

Sample Annotated Bibliography
Waite, Linda J., Frances Kobrin Goldscheider, and Christina Witsberger.
“Nonfamily Living and the Erosion of Traditional Family Orientations
Among Young Adults.” American Sociological Review 51 (1986): 541-554.
The authors, researchers at the Rand Corporation and Brown University, use data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Young Women and Young Men to test their hypothesis that nonfamily living by young adults alters their attitudes, values, plans, and expectations, moving them away from their belief in traditional sex roles. As researchers at reputable institutions, the authors have the authority to make the suggestions they do. They find their hypothesis strongly supported in young females, while the effects were fewer in studies of young males. Increasing the time away from parents before marrying increased individualism, self-sufficiency, and changes in attitudes about families. I will use this source in my research paper conclusion in order to better support my thesis on the psychology of single living.
