Finding Sources: The Annotated Bibliography

Develop an annotated bibliography as part of the gathering sources research process.

Remember that per the Essay 3 prompt, you need to find at least three resources to use as your support your arguments about your monsters, Two of them need to either be from from the Cuyamaca College Library Databases (Links to an external site.) or Google Scholar (Links to an external site.). (The others can be from anywhere, but make sure to review our Research Guide and the CRAAP test for checking sources).

Create your own annotated bibliography that includes at least five sources you plan on using for Essay 3. What that means is that you will list all five sources in the MLA citation and then write a short paragraph underneath each one that tells us what the source is about and how it might help you with the essay (Remember to look at the Sample MLA Annotated Bibliography

The Process:

Creating an annotated bibliography requires concise writing, succinct analysis, and informed library research (notice all of the critical thinking skills you will need). The steps are listed below:

1. Find sources that contain useful information on your topic. Briefly examine and review them and be sure to choose works that provide a variety of perspectives on your topic.
2. Bibliographically cite the source using MLA citation rules.
3. Write a concise annotation that summarizes the central ideas of the source.
   • Include one or more sentences that
     • evaluate the authority or background of the author,
     • comment on the intended audience,
     • compare or contrast this work with another you have cited, and
     • explain how this work illuminates your bibliography topic.
4. Be sure to give a parenthetical citation at the end of each summary/annotation.

Be sure to be very detailed in your paragraphs and include not just a brief summary of the article but a note on how/why it would be useful in your argument. You should list at least five sources here.
