Please read the directions thoroughly. I need seven credible
sources. Use the attachments to complete the assignment. Below the
essay please insert the reflection questions and answer them
accordingly.
ASSIGNMENT: Using your research question, working thesis, and
outline from Touchstone 1.2, create an annotated bibliography that
provides a synopsis of your sources and an explanation of how you
will use them.
In order to foster learning and growth, all essays you submit
must be newly written specifically for this course. Any recycled
work will be sent back with a 0, and you will be given one attempt
to redo the Touchstone.
As this assignment builds on Touchstone 1.2: Write a Research
Question, Thesis, and Outline, that Touchstone, as well as
Touchstone 2.1, must be graded before you can submit your annotated
bibliography.
A. Assignment Guidelines
DIRECTIONS: Refer to the list below throughout the writing
process. Do not submit your Touchstone until it meets these
guidelines.
1. Annotated Bibliography
Make sure to:
❒ Alphabetize the entries, according to APA style. ❒ Include
the required bibliographic information in APA format for each
entry.❒ Include 3-4 sentences for each entry that provide a short
summary of the source and how you plan to use it to support your
argument.❒ Include at least seven entries in your annotated
bibliography, all of which must be credible, academic sources.❒
Choose your own sources, but use no more than three websites (there
is no limit on the number of online journals used).❒ Thoroughly
check the formatting requirements for the different source types.❒
Indicate the required sources (book, peer-reviewed journal,
newspaper/magazine, and credible website) by including the source
type in parentheses after the relevant entry.
2. Reflection
❒ Have you displayed a clear understanding of the research
activities? ❒ Have you answered all reflection questions
thoughtfully and included insights, observations, and/or examples
in all responses? ❒ Are your answers included on a separate page
below the main assignment?
B. Reflection Questions
DIRECTIONS: Below your assignment, include answers to all of
the following reflection questions.
Accurately recording bibliographic information is essential and
saves you time, as you can transfer this information to the
References page of your drafted essay. Each source entry should
include a brief summary of the source as well as 3-4 sentences
describing how you intend to use that source to build or support
your argument. Discuss how your annotated bibliography meets these
criteria. (2-3 sentences)
Which strategies were most helpful for you when searching for
credible sources? (2-3 sentences)
What difficulties did you face while searching for credible
sources? How did you overcome these difficulties? (2-3
sentences)
