Compose a synthesized annotated bibliography that aims to explore some particular topic of your choice. You must annotate and discuss 1) six to ten secondary academic sources, and 2) three to five primary sources. Your work here must amount to at least six double-spaced pages, with one-inch margins and twelve point Times New Roman font.
The purpose: Consider the possible academic conversations that you can generate between different sources on some topic of your choice. Effectively, youre already working on your final paper. Cool, huh?
How to do the assignment: Using your prospectus as a guide, begin collecting primary and secondary sources that you may use for your 15-page research paper. USE A CONSISTENT DOCUMENTATION STYLE (such as MLA, APA or Chicago). Check out the library resources I have posted online for more information on how to construct a works cited page. DO NOT USE CITATION MACHINE OR OTHER ONLINE GENERATORS. THEY WILL BETRAY YOU. All entries should be alphabetical.
Structure: Organize your annotated bibliography as you would a works cited page (consistently use the formatting style of your choice, but I insist that its done correctly). Under each entry, include the following information about that source:
For Primary Sources:
1) A brief summary of the sources content/genre/style etc
2) Explain how treating this source relates to your thesis (or possible theses at this point). Is this source your main focus of discussion?
Is this source a literary work, visual art, statistical data etc.?
For Secondary Sources:
1) A brief summary of the authors scope, topic, and thesis
2) Explain how your paper will be in conversation with this author. Dont think of sources exploitatively (i.e. how can I use this source?).

Please review the prospectus that attached. The prospectus is basically about what the essay is talking about, and the attached information are the sources that could be using in the annotated bibliography. Please find two or three more sources.
