Student Learning Outcomes: This assignment is designed to address one of the main student learning outcomes for this course:
- Develop the interpretive skills necessary to examine media texts closely and critically
Assignment: Compile an annotated bibliography that includes a minimum of five (5) sources, with at least three (3) of those sources coming from peer-reviewed journal articles. Each entry should be listed alphabetically and include two elements: 1. bibliographic information using APA or MLA style guide and 2. annotation.
Sources could come from the following: peer reviewed journal articles; book chapters in collections; popular press (newspapers, magazines, etc.), and the Internet.
Annotation: The annotation for each source should be about one page in length. The paragraphs should both summarize and evaluate the source.
There are basic questions you should address in your summary:
- What are the main arguments?
- What topics are covered?
- How current in the material?
- Who is the author and where was the article published?
There are also basic issues to consider in the evaluation of the source:
- Is the information reliable?
- Do the author(s) reach valid conclusions?
- How does it compare with other courses in your bibliography?
