For Thursday, please post your first “source entry” for your reflective annotated bibliography.  As I said in class, it’s very important that you do this!  I’ll be commenting on all of these individually. This will help you make sure you’re on the right track for the rest of Unit 2.  Even if — especially if– you feel lost, do the best you can!!!

For more info on source entries, see the annotated bibliography road map

The source entry (400 words) contains:

  • the bibliographic entry (see easy bib)
  • 1-2 paragraph summary
  • 1-2 paragraph rhetorical analysis
  • optional 1 paragraph response: how did you feel about this source? Did you agree or disagree?
  • Key quotes: a few quotes that stand out to you.  These do not count toward the word count. 

You may also want to look at these student examples:

  1. This one is excellent— so excellent, in fact, that it was published in the City Tech Writer. In it, the writer researches how Native American children were taken from their families and kept in white-run schools for decades at a time, not allowed to speak their own language or visit home.
  2. This one is very good — we looked at it in class.  The writer explores how black holes are formed.
