  1. Annotated BibliographyLearning Goals: Students will understand the components of an annotated bibliography and rhetorical précis. Students will be able to develop 10 annotations using the rhetorical précis process.Some excerpts taken from: http://www.library.cornell.edu/olinuris/ref/research/permission.html

  2. What is an Annotated Bibliography? • A list of citations for books, articles, and documents. • Each citation is followed by a descriptive and evaluative paragraph in rhetorical précis format.

  3. What is the purpose of the annotation? • to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.

  4. What do annotations look like? • descriptive and critical; • they expose the author's point of view, • provide a concise summary of each source and some assessment of its value or relevance.

  5. How do I write an annotation? • Cite the book, article, or document using the appropriate style – MLA. • Easybib.com • OWL Purdue Online Writing Lab

  6. Not Simply A Summary of the Source ! • What are the main arguments? • What is the point of this book or article? • What topics are covered? • Someone reading the annotation would be able to determine the source’s value.

  7. Evaluate the Sources You Choose • Is it a useful source? • How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? • Is the information reliable? • Is this source biased or objective? • What is the goal of this source? • Do you find the text easy to read, or is it stilted or choppy?

  8. Reflect • Was this source helpful? • How does it help shape your argument? • How can you use this source in your research project? • Has it changed how you think about the topic?

  9. Writing an annotation using the rhetorical précis format: A highly structured four sentence paragraph: • Author, title, classification of the source, main idea being asserted, claimed, etc. • Techniques used to support and develop the main idea, structure, stylistic devices (imagery, repetition, etc.) • The purpose of the source (persuade, explain, examine, etc.) connected to main idea. • explain how this work supports or clarifies your topic.

  10. Annotated Bibliography Requirements: • MLA Format • Introduction • Explain your research topic and what you expect to learn from your investigation. • Conclusion • Explain what you learned and the relevancy of the annotated sources. Discuss what you still need to learn and examine. Overview “next steps”.
