Overview As you are learning in ENG 190, the research process is an important part of writing a persuasive essay. In this assignment, you will create a collection of sources in the form of an annotated bibliography. Note: This assignment is the first part of the project that you will submit in Module Seven. A crucial part of the research process is identifying credible and relevant sources that support your topic and argument. In your annotations for each source, you must evaluate how they support your topic and argument, identify counterarguments, and represent diverse perspectives. Directions In this project draft, you will compile your research by evaluating and creating an annotated bibliography for at least three sources that you selected in Modules One and Two that support your topic. One of these sources should be the original article that you selected in Module One from the Project Resources. The other two sources should be the ones that you selected during your library research in Module Two. Each entry must include an APA citation followed by an annotation addressing the criteria in the rubric below. Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria: Biased Sources: Describe the impact of using biased sources to support your topic. How does the presence of bias in each source impact your argument? Diverse Perspectives: Describe how diverse perspectives from sources support your position. Consider the following questions: How do the multiple voices in the sources give evidence for your argument? How do these diverse perspectives from your research support your topic? Relevant Sources: List three relevant sources to support your persuasive essay. Include one source from the Project Resources and two sources that you find through your own research using the Shapiro Library. Include an APA citation entry for each source. Support: Describe how each source supports your topic. Briefly summarize each source and state why the source is credible. Explain how each source is relevant to your research question. What to Submit Your submission should be a 2- to 4-page annotated bibliography in a Microsoft Word document with 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to APA style both throughout and at the end of your project draft. resources used in pervious assignment: Liu, J. (2023). The state of book banning in America.
