As this point, you should have identified a rhetorical problem and developed at least two related research questions you are interested in exploring. For this assignment, you will create an annotated bibliography of sources related to your research questions.

As you may already know, a bibliography is a list of sources (articles, books, etc.), formatted according to certain rules. An annotated bibliography is similar, except that each of the citations is followed by a paragraph summarizing and evaluating the source. These paragraphs are called annotations.

Researchers often use annotated bibliographies to organize the information they collect when they are researching a topic. They help researchers keep track of what they have learned from different sources, so they dont have to go back and re-read everything when they sit down to write about their research.

Your annotated bibliography should list, summarize, and evaluate at least five credible sources related to your research question.

Due date: Sunday, March 8

Finding and Reading Sources

Using the SmartSearch or other search engines, find at least five sources related to your research questions. Choose sources that will help you answer your research questions and that present a variety of perspectives on your topic, not just sources by writers who agree with each other. You are welcome to use sources assigned for class, if they are relevant for the assignment and your topic. Reference works, such as dictionaries and encyclopedias, do not count towards the required number of sources.

Once you have found relevant sources, carefully read them. Pay particular attention to the authors main point or conclusions as well as the arguments, evidence, and/or research they present to support their main point or conclusions.

Formatting Your Annotated Bibliography

Please follow these guidelines when composing your Annotated Bibliography.

• Place an MLA-style Citation at the top of each entry. (See the sample Blackboard for an example.)
• Place the annotation (the paragraph summarizing and evaluating the source) under the bibliographic information. Each annotation should include the following information:
• A summary of the authors main point(s). For argumentative sources, this will be the authors central claim (e.g. their thesis). For informational sources, this will be the conclusions the author drew from their research.
• An explanation of the authors arguments and/or evidence. For argumentative sources, this includes examples and data the author presents as well as arguments that support their thesis. For informational sources, this includes any research the author discusses, such as such interviews with experts, surveys, or research studies.
• An assessment of the sources credibility. Explain why you believe the source is credible. Or, if you dont think the source is credible, explain why you are still including it in your annotated bibliography (for example, it may represent an important counter-argument you want to address). Remember to draw on what youve learned about evaluating the credibility of sources in this class.

The length of your annotations will vary depending on the length and complexity of the source. However, most annotations that accomplish these goals will be 150-250 words each.

List the entries in alphabetical order, according to the authors last names.

If you have any questions about MLA style, consult the or or email your instructor.

Generative AI Guidelines

You MAY use generative AI to proofread your writing, such as:

• Using Grammarly to check grammar and punctuation.

You may NOT use generative AI to create substantial content for this assignment, including:

• Asking Chat GPT or other generative AI to summarize sources for you.
• Asking Chat GPT or other generative AI to write part of your annotations.

The two rhetorical problems this needs to be over are:

ESSAY #1 Epic Heroes (MLA format; 3+ pages, double spaced; 1-inch margins; Times New Roman, or preapproved 12- point font) Epic poetry is one of the oldest forms of storytelling, dating back several millennia, and yet these works remain some of the most widely read and studied pieces of literature. This is due, in no small part, to the presence of heroesperson(s) or character(s), who are admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities; or someone who, in the face of danger, combats adversity through feats of ingenuity, courage or strength. THE ILIAD, Book V, by Homer THE ODYSSEY, Book IX, by Homer THE AENEID, Book III, by Virgil For this, our second writing assignment, I would like you to choose one (1) passage from each of these excerpts and write a short, three to five-page literary analysis, discussing the similarities and/or differences between the portrayal of their heroic characters and their deeds or accomplishments. Your chosen passages must be a section that you think best exemplifies or reveals this. In your close reading, you should be sure to do the following: DO NOT simply copy and paste the entire passage or write a plot summary of the entire story. Instead, you should reference the ideas you will cover in your opening paragraph, as well as indicate when the passage appears. Over the course of your analysis, use quotes to explain your ideas. You will probably need at least one quote or paraphrase per paragraph. DO NOT use a quote longer than a few sentences. You should paraphrase otherwise and make sure to cite each quote using the authors name. Illustrate why the passage is important, break down what it means, and explain what you believe the authors intent may be, beyond the words on the page. Use a combination of prior knowledge or research to improve upon or add meaning to your analysis. Close reading demonstrates understanding beyond the basic information conveyed by the plot. So, make sure that your analysis explains the deeper meaning behind the passage and why you think the author wrote it. Its what weve been practicing in our initial discussions, only in written form. You will also be responsible for handing in your annotations for these excerpts along with the essay.
