Topic of a research paper is:
Deviance, Crime, and Social Control
Create a list of resources in alphabetical order like you would on a works cited page. The only difference is that underneath each source you write a very short statement (two paragraphs maximum) of why this source is relevant for this paper's topic. The list of resources should only be 2-3 pages double-spaced.
An Example:
Say the books listed below are your paper sources. Notice what I do under each source (in parentheses). When you write your paper, do not include the parentheses.
Remember you are just telling me a little about the subject of the source and why it is important to your topic. This is an example of a Works Cited page in MLA (Modern Language Association) format.
