Homework: Project Annotated Bibliography
A basic component of academic research is the annotated bibliography. The annotated bibliography is a list of the sources you have found so far. The list is in alphabetical order as it would be on your Reference page and includes a full citation for each source as it would appear on your Reference page. However, in addition, an annotated bibliography includes an annotation for each source, which is basically a summary of the source and some commentary on why the source is useful to your project.
Some steps to consider while developing your annotated bibliography are the following.
• Brainstorm using your sociological imagination, course readings, and outside resources, and explain your thoughts about the causes of environmental racism within the United States. Why are some groups more affected than others? What are the consequences of environmental racism? What strategies are available to reduce environmental racism amongst communities within the United States? What about local communities specifically?
• Revisit the five research questions you developed in the previous homework.
• Then find content from scholarly sources connected to the research questions. You must find at least one or two scholarly sources per research question.
• As you research to find scholarly sources, you must (i) make meaningful connections with local examples of environmental racism in the previous homework; (ii) attempt to answer some of the questions asked above (causes, consequences, and strategies of environmental racism); and (iii) ensure that there is direct connection to research questions.
• Having identified a scholarly source, an annotated bibliography must be provided.
Format your homework according to the give formatting requirements:
• The answer must be using Times New Roman font (size 12), double spaced, typed, with one-inch margins on all sides.
• The response also includes a cover page containing the student's name, the title of the homework, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
• Also include a reference page. The references and Citations should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
