To write an Annotated Bibliography: write an MLA Works Cited citation for each source and then a 100-150 word summary and evaluation of each source right below each citation.
Your Annotated Bibliography should have at least Five Sources that you will use for the Researched Argument Paper.
1. One must be from the Launchpad textbook Current Issues and Enduring Questions.
2. Two of the sources should be from an Academic Database (any of the databases from NC Live are acceptable: ProQuest, CQ Researcher, SIRS Researcher, Academic Search Elite, etc…).
3. The other two sources can be any combination of books, articles, websites, government sites, personal interviews, movies, videos, radio and/or T.V. broadcasts, etc… Each source should reflect the sources that you will be using in your Researched Argument paper (though you can or may change some of them for your final draft of the paper due after this Bibliography).
In addition to the Databases listed above through NC Live, there are also excellent Academic Research Databases on the web at doaj.org and at Google Scholar. These search engines provide real Scholarly articles for college research.
Example of an Annotated Bibliography from a paper on film acting:
Corliss, Richard. “Method Acting and Marlon Brando’s Successors.” Critical Film Review (12:4).
12 Nov. 2014. egusd.net/franklinhs/mediacom/ROP_ISP/rop_isp_2nd_term/rop_isp_term2
_week9/Critical%20Film%20Review.htm
This article discusses the differences and similarities between “Method Acting” and “Technical Acting”. For example, “Method Acting” asks actors to fully immerse themselves in the general world of the role and the specific world of their characters. Method work is also called internal or subjective work because actors build the character from within, tapping into the parts of themselves that relate to the character. The article also discusses Stella Adler’s The Actor’s Studio and Marlon Brando’s legacy of younger actors: Johnny Depp, James Franco, and Matthew McConaughey . The article is useful because your paper will focus on how Method Acting is used today, including the film Interstellar.
Length: 5 sources with 5 annotations: 100-150 words for each annotation.
All major papers and assignments should be in Times New Roman 12 pt. font.
