You do not submit the final essay on the 1st of June, but only the draft which is necessary.
Produce an annotated bibliography of at least 5
sources (of which no more than 3 can be electronic sources- as in purely a
website, a book you found online does not count as an electronic resource for
example). Please use google
scholar (preferably the books: “The Scientific Revolution and the Origins of Modern Science” by John Henry, “The Printing Press as an Agent of Change” by Elizabeth L. Eisenstein, “The Telescope: Its History, Technology, and Future” by Geoff Andersen; and websites like history.ca, brittanica (for example, for microscope)
VERY IMPORTANT: please use footnotes for in text citations.
The structure for this essay is to
have 2 paragraphs for each area of focus (therefore 3 areas of focus/2
paragraphs each = 6 body paragraphs). Your goal is to have
between 5-7 body paragraphs to support your argument.
While writing, you should remember to introduce
each paragraph, include references for all supporting quotes/evidence (in the
form of footnotes), conclude each paragraph and make transitions from one
paragraph topic to the next. The writing of this rough draft will act as a
first stage in your final draft writing process.
