5.2: Research Paper Annotated Bib Annotated Bib: 4.9 CFP: Strange but Simple: The Rhetoric of Everyday Technological Change Editor: Professor Will Kurlinkus (University of Oklahoma) Contact Email: [email protected] Purpose: An annotated bibliography is a descriptive list of sources that a professional research writer uses to structure her or his essay. In each annotated bibliographic entry, the writer provides 1. the bibliographic information for the source (the 2009 MLA works cited entry), 2. A summary of the source, and 3. A description of how this source fits into the author’s argument. Thus, the goal of the annotated bibliography is often 2fold: 1. It allows the author to structure his or her argument in relation to preexisting information (do you agree, disagree, or partially agree with this author? What information is this author missing? How will your research relate to/expand upon/contradict this author?). And 2. If published, the annotated bibliography lets other researchers gain access to shortened versions of information that the author has summarized. 1. [Number of Sources]: For this class you will write an annotated bibliography with 5 researched sources. At least 4 of these sources must be written by professionals— journalists, scientists, sociologists, etc., not anonymous members of organizations but actual authors. 2. [Locating Sources]: At least 1 of your sources must be from Wired magazine’s website and 3 sources must be from academic articles found through Google Scholar. 3. [Argument]: At the beginning of the annotated bib, you must briefly describe your research argument—give an updated/improved upon version of your proposal. As well as give a set of research questions. 4. [Requirements]: Each bibliographic entry must be roughly 350 words and include: • 2009 MLA works cited info, • A summary of the source (including main points, interesting facts, etc.). Also include a description of who the authors are. • 2 key quotes from the sources that you could use in your essay, • and a description how the source (and specifically the quotes you’ve identified ) relates to your research and your argument (do you agree, disagree, will you build off it? How does your research differ from this source? What research questions does it answer?). Tip, you will not just get points if you say, I agree with this argument. You have to show me how you will use this source.

5.2: Research Paper Annotated Bib Annotated Bib: 4.9 CFP: Strange but Simple: The Rhetoric of Everyday Technological Change Editor: Professor Will Kurlinkus (University of Oklahoma) Contact Email: [email protected] Purpose: An annotated bibliography is a descriptive list of sources that a professional research writer uses to structure her or his essay. In each annotated bibliographic entry, the writer provides 1. the bibliographic information for the source (the 2009 MLA works cited entry), 2. A summary of the source, and 3. A description of how this source fits into the author’s argument. Thus, the goal of the annotated bibliography is often 2-‐fold: 1. It allows the author to structure his or her argument in relation to pre-‐existing information (do you agree, disagree, or partially agree with this author? What information is this author missing? How will your research relate to/expand upon/contradict this author?). And 2. If published, the annotated bibliography lets other researchers gain access to shortened versions of information that the author has summarized. 1. [Number of Sources]: For this class you will write an annotated bibliography with 5
researched sources. At least 4 of these sources must be written by professionals—journalists, scientists, sociologists, etc., not anonymous members of organizations but actual authors.
2. [Locating Sources]: At least 1 of your sources must be from Wired magazine’s website and 3 sources must be from academic articles found through Google Scholar.
3. [Argument]: At the beginning of the annotated bib, you must briefly describe your research argument—give an updated/improved upon version of your proposal. As well as give a set of research questions.
4. [Requirements]: Each bibliographic entry must be roughly 350 words and include: • 2009 MLA works cited info, • A summary of the source (including main points, interesting facts, etc.). Also include a
description of who the authors are. • 2 key quotes from the sources that you could use in your essay, • and a description how the source (and specifically the quotes you’ve identified )
relates to your research and your argument (do you agree, disagree, will you build off it? How does your research differ from this source? What research questions does it answer?). Tip, you will not just get points if you say, I agree with this argument. You have to show me how you will use this source.
