Directions
Find Four college level resources related to your topic for your research essay in ENGL 100 or ESL 400. If you are not in ENGL 100, research something you are writing about in another class or something you are interested in. Your research should be on a SINGLE topic.
These resources CANNOT be an assigned reading or textbook from any of your classes.
At least one resource (you can have more than one) MUST be a peer-reviewed article from a library database
All resources must be credible and college level.
Cite your resource using MLA. Remember to double space your citations and include a hanging indent.
Write a short summary (2-3 sentences) of your resource. What are the main points? What is the resource about?
Evaluate the resourceâs credibility and quality. Answer at least two of the following:
Currency- When was the article written? Is it recent enough for your topic?
Relevance- Who is the audience for this article? Students, teachers, the general public, children, professionals, etc.
Authority- Who is the author or publisher of the article? What are their credentials (do they have a degree in the topic, for example). Why is the author qualified to write on this topic?
Accuracy- Is the information supported by evidence? Are there any citations or a list of resources that the author used in their article?
Purpose- What is the purpose of the information? Is the author trying to inform people about a particular topic or teach students about a certain subject? Is the author trying to sell you a product? Is the author trying to persuade you to agree with a particular idea or point of view? Are there political, ideological, cultural, religious, institutional, or personal biases? Hint: to evaluate purpose use words like persuade, inform, educate, entertain, sell, etc. Note: The purpose is different from the summary.
Write a short description (2-3 sentences) describing how you will use your resource in your ENLG 100 essay. If you are not in ENGL 100 write how you will use your resource in an essay you are writing for another class, or why the resource interests you.
Do this for each resource. Be sure to look at the example Annotated Bibliography before turning in your assignment.
