For this assignment, you will prepare an MLA Works Cited page that contains at least 5 (can be more, if you wish) research resources that you have found to expand and deepen your knowledge of your chosen astronomy issue for this unit. You should have found these 5+ research resources via both internet searching and searching via Kingsborough’s Kibbee library databases. For the purposes of this assignment, you must have found at least 1 of your 5+ research resource via the Kibbee library databases. The tutorial readings and video earlier in this week 5 folder are designed to help you learn to do this.
Use the tutorial collection on our Perusall course site to learn how to create an MLA style Works Cited page. There are two readings and a video there to help you. Please follow all guidelines carefully and thoroughly regarding the visual layout and structure of an MLA style Works Cited. You can do this. It just takes patience.
Once you’ve created the Works Cited page using MLA style, you will have to add your written “annotations.” In this class, “annotations” typically refer to the notes we make on texts by inserting them on Perusall. For this assignment, they mean something different. The “annotations” you will add on your Works Cited page will take the form of 2-3 paragraphs after EACH citation/entry that should be written to communicate the following:
What is this resource, and what is important or interesting about its rhetorical context?
How do the information, content, and/or opinions in this resource help to expand or deepen your understanding of your chosen astronomy topic?
More specifically, how does anything contained in this resource influence something you wrote in your Expressive Essay (in week 4)?
To repeat, after EACH of your entries in the Works Cited, you will insert 2-3 well-written, clear paragraphs that cover the bulleted points above.
