Annotated Bibliography due tomorrow (7/12) by 7 PM

Hi all,

Although there is no homework in the form of DQs due tonight, the Annotated Bibliography is due tomorrow by 7 PM, and there will be some DQs assigned to be due then as well. Please see the Assignments tab for the Turnitin space to upload and submit your bibliography.

For the Annotated Bibliography: there is a minimum of 150 word annotations per source. Each annotation should explain the source, how it will be used to argue your (working) thesis for the paper, AND how each source will correspond to the other sources. The more detailed your annotations, the more helpful this document will be for writing your research paper. 

Tomorrow we will finish up Eliot, which was put aside today, and I will give an introduction to Althusser, which will be important for working with the Pinter texts next week. We will also read Pinter's Mountain Language and/or Louis Zukofsky's "A". We will cover Zukofsky Thursday via your DQs on the reading (selections from "A" in the course library) and a critical exegetical piece to be uploaded to the course library as well. Although there are no DQs tonight, you should be working on your bibliography and take this opportunity to read your sources thoroughly and take notes in preparation for the paper and the project.

On the Project:

The one or, preferably, two sources for the project may be drawn from any database or .edu, .org, or .gov. They may also be periodicals or reviews from the databases (EBSCO (Academic Search Complete is another great database to use besides JSTOR for this project). The accompanying Artist's Statement for your project should have a minimum of 600 written words, that explains the rationales for your choices: How do your sources fit in to the project? What can your sources teach your audience about the text? What is the purpose of each source? What is the purpose of your composition? Who is the target audience for this composition? 

For the Artist's Statement, a sample is in the Course Library.

Also please see this sample previous project by a former student and click on "rhetorical rationales" for each to see an example of her rhetorical rationales, which could help as well: https://is1681.wixsite.com/mysite/project-3

As always, please DM or email me with any questions, though DMs will get a faster response
