Annotated Bibliography Creation
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I need an annotated bibliography by midnight.
Requirements:
- Use MLA citation style
- Include 8-10 sources
- I will provide the sources
Ideal Skills & Experience:
- Proficient in MLA formatting
- Strong writing and summarization skills
- Experience with annotated bibliographies
Compile an annotated bibliography of the sources you have consulted for your argument.
Your essay needs to cite at least four sources, but this bibliography should consist of all
sources that you considered using but perhaps didn’t end up citing. Aim for a bibliography
of 6-8 sources.
Begin the bibliography with a brief (1 page) description of your project. Your description
should identify the issue you’re studying, the position(s) and arguments you think are most
reasonable, and what you hope your argument will do for your readers.
Your bibliography will need to do several things in addition to just providing a list of the
works cited and consulted. Include these elements for each bibliographic entry.
1. Cite the source in MLA style.
2. Provide an annotation (approx. 100 words) in which you identify:
1. The main claim or argument of the source.
2. How the source goes about supporting its claim (i.e., is it a research article, a
theoretical essay, history writing, a book review or some other kind of
response to a specific text).
3. An assessment of the source’s credibility using information cycle and lateral
reading techniques.
4. How the source intersects with other sources in the bibliography.
5. How the source might be useful to your project.
