Develop an Annotated Bibliography using at least THREE relevant secondary sources from the GMC Library.

Summary:
Your Response Paper assignment this week is to write an annotated bibliography compiling works cited entries and brief summaries of several sources related to your working thesis idea (from the Skill-Building Activity in week 5) in some way. This assignment is connected to your eventual research paper due in week 7.

Remember that your eventual Research Paper due in week 7 must make an argumentative claim about at least two of the works we have read in the class, using one of the literary theories to which you were introduced earlier in the course.

When creating an annotated bibliography, you list citations to books, articles, and/or documents that are relevant to your topic and might be used to help write your eventual paper for week 7. Then, each individual citation is followed by a brief (usually around 150-200 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraphthis is known as the annotation. The purpose of each annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the source cited.

Develop an Annotated Bibliography using at least THREE relevant secondary sources from the GMC Library.

Remember that you are writing a paper on literature, so while you may find a historical document important to your research if you are performing a Historical Analysis, your sources should generally come from one of the literary journals (your best options are Blooms Literature, Literary Reference Center, Literature Resource Center, JSTOR, and ProQuest).

Your finished Response Paper should include at least 3 source entries, with annotation paragraphs for each source (to see an example, look over the document Example of an Annotated Bibliography in the Online Learning Resources section for this week). Annotations include the following elements:

Summary/Analysis: mention the article’s main ideas and analyze its general argument.
Evaluation: evaluation of the article’s effectiveness, with a brief explanation of how source is relevant or useful to your research paper topic idea.

As with all your submissions, this is a formal assignment that should be submitted using MLA format for style, spacing, heading, pagination, etc. Your final response should be at least 500 words.
