The Assignment - How to get started
You must do all of the following:
1. Cite the book,
article or website, using the appropriate MLA Style for the source as it
would appear on the Works Cited page.
2. Write a concise
annotation just after the citation in which you:
a. summarize the central theme and
scope of the book or article.
b. evaluate the authority or
background of the author or the credibility of
the source
c.
comment on the intended audience for the source

how this work illuminates your research and helps you support
your claim

Some questions to
keep in mind while evaluating your sources. You may even mention these things
in your annotations.
If
it is a website you are evaluating, you should address how valid the source is
and how current the information on that source is. Does the website have an author? Does it have
a publication date? How organized is the information? Does help you with your
research? Can you use this in your paper? Also, include any quotes that you
find helpful for your paper.
