Evaluative Annotated Bibliography

Assignment:
Produce an evaluative annotated bibliography that collects, summarizes, and explains the best secondary sources available on your narrowed topic (there will also be an informal in-class research presentation worth 10% of your final grade).

Many of the sources collected will be scholarly. The annotated bibliography will 1) summarize the source and 2) explain its rhetorical context (the journal and its audience, the purpose of the article, the conversation/debate it references, its genre conventions, its organization, the evidence it marshals in support of its argument, and/or its disciplinary assumptions and values).
