No thesis means a no pass for the semester.

WOW Thesis

Annotated Bibliography Instructions

Directions: Follow the format and directions below when completing your annotated bibliographies and your works-cited page.  Four annotations are due on January 20th.  Do not write a bibliography on your primary source.  You only have to complete four of these in total, but remember you must have five sources minimum for your thesis.   (Some of your sources can be books or from other media, but not for this assignment.)

The purpose of this assignment is to introduce you to the Multnomah County Library databases for some and to have you begin researching for your thesis.  Each typed entry (summary

and response) should be no longer than one paragraph.  Use MLA style.  Follow the format below:

1.     Provide a full accurate citation for your article (the information can be easily found on the databases). Use MLA formatting.

2.     After reading the whole article, summarize the most pertinent points found in the article. 

3.     Evaluate the usefulness of the source.  You may want to consider the following questions: Do you agree or disagree with the writer’s argument?   Is there a potential thesis stemming from the author’s ideas?  What is the quality of the source?  How much depth does the author go into? 

Use either the citation maker on OSLIS (oslis.org) or checkout a Write Source book to learn the proper format for all other citations.

Annotated Bibliography Sample: List the sources you consulted in proper MLA format. Your list should be alphabetical by the author’s last name. Also, you must summarize and evaluate the information in that source and its relevance to your topic.

Sample: Modeleski, Tania. The Women Who Knew Too Much. New York: Harper-Collins. 1984. This is the key text for my topic. It contains analyses of all of the major Hitchcock films and an essential introduction to feminist film theory. From this source, I learned that Freudian psychology plays a large role in the psycho-sexual development of male characters in film. The book was so relevant that my biggest challenge was to try to create new ideas that were not already represented in the book.

Points Possible: 20  Due February 19 /20

Note Card Assignment

WOW Research Paper

Due on January 26th

You must use a minimum of 5 Sources: 3-4 note cards on each source.  Submit 15 total note cards either bound together with a rubber band or typed using a notecard template. Include a typed works-cited page that includes your five sources (this can be based on source cards or on citations you make online as you go along).  You do not have to do source cards because the works-cited page serves as your reference.

Points Possible: 20  Due February 26/27
