 WRITING: Introducing the Annotated Bibliography Project:

  • Respond to the Discussion Question “Student Samples — Annotated Bibliography Project”:
    • Look at the student samples. Before you even read the pieces, notice the formatting and technical elements. Discuss what makes the pieces look finished and professional.
    • Read the student samples. Decide which is the “summary” section and which is the “rhetorical analysis” section. Then find one phrase that indicates when the writer is summarizing a source and one phrase that shows the author is expressing their opinion of the source. Quote these phrases and incorporate them into your answer.
