For this assignment, you will write an annotated bibliography on three sources. For detailed information on how to create your Annotated Bibliography, see the Sample Annotated Bibliography and the Annotated Bibliography Template (Links to an external site.).
For the Annotated Bibliography, you will write annotations for three sources. One source should be a primary source. Though a primary source can be different things depending on the research project, for your Literary Analysis Final Paper in Week 5, the primary source is the literary work you selected for your Week 1 Proposal for Final Paper assignment.
Next, choose two secondary sources that are additional to the course textbook. Secondary sources are publications like textbooks, magazine articles, histories, criticisms, commentaries, encyclopedias, and so forth. An appropriate secondary source to use for your literary analysis is a scholarly source that interprets and offers analysis of a literary work.
The sources you locate must be academic sources and come from peer-reviewed journals or other scholarly publications. Your two secondary sources could come from the sources located in this week’s Performing Literary Research discussion.
Copy and paste the writing prompt you chose to explore in the Week 1 Proposal for Final Paper into a blank Word document.
In your Annotated Bibliography,
- Revise the working thesis you created in the Week 1 Proposal for Final Paper assignment (include it below your writing prompt).
- Identify your primary source (your selected literary work) and two secondary, academic sources in this same document.
- Summarize each source. (Each summary should be 100 to 150 words.)
- Explain how each source supports your working thesis.
