annotated bibliography

Annotated Bibliography (15%): Due February 18
This assignment is the first step for your research essay on a selected topic from the list
provided.

This assignment has three components:

1) Write a short introduction to your research topic (1 paragraph, approximately 250 words)
Your introduction should establish the parameters of your research topic and
define any key terms or issues that you will explore.
2) Identify three research questions that help you define your topic
Your research questions should indicate how you will focus your research (what
themes/events/issues you will explore).
You do not yet need to provide answers for these questions, but you do need to
show you have given the topic some thought and moved from the very broad list
of subjects to something more manageable.
Your question should be analytical/interpretative, not descriptive (i.e. not
questions of fact, but rather interpretation).
3) Include an annotated bibliography referring to five scholarly sources
Each bibliographic entry should have an annotation that states the sources
argument and explains how it will answer one or more of the questions you
identified
