Research paper bibliography
For this assignment only four sources are required to complete the annotated bibliography portion of this assignment.
For each source, write a brief annotation- three to four sentences that summarize the information found in the source and a statement of how it will be useful in your paper – following MLA style.
These four sources should be alphabetized according to the last name of the authors.
Here’s a sample entry for an annotated bibliography:
Hayakawa, S. I. “The Case for Official English.” A Meeting of Minds: A Brief Rhetoric for Writers and
Readers. Eds. Patsy Callaghan and Ann Dobyns. New York: Pearson Longman, 2004. 446-452. Hayakawa argues strongly for a Constitutional Amendment making English the official language of the United States. He is disturbed by what he sees as catering to immigrants who refuse to learn English. He is especially tough on Hispanic leadership in the U.S., claiming that they are encouraging people to speak Spanish and not learn English. As one of the most vocal advocates of the English Only movement, Hayakawa’s piece will be an important representation of that position.*
Entries should be double spaced and all lines after the first in each entry should be indented 1/2″.
While using Google and other general search engines will likely result in some useful sources, the student will need to go beyond what these search engines can provide.
