rite an annotated bibliography on three sources, homework help

/in /by

It look a lot, but it isn’t, I like to post all the details and reading material needed, to make your work easier. 

For this week’s written assignment, you’ll complete an annotated bibliography. This might be a new term for some of you, so I’ll explain. A bibliography is a list of reference works used in a research paper. An annotation is a note about each work. Therefore your annotated bibliography for this course will contain the list of works you intend to use for your literary analysis paper and a note about each.
This might sound simple, and it is! However, there are still certain expectations placed upon you for this assignment. First of all, you need to understand the differences between a primary and a secondary source. For your literary analysis paper, your primary source is the story, poem, or drama that you’ll write about. Secondary sources are the articles you find where another scholar writes about the primary text. In the sample essay, the primary source is Kafka’s The Metamorphosis and the secondary sources are the two articles that are used in the paper to support the analysis.
For your annotated bibliography, you’ll include an entry for your primary source AND two secondary sources. Be sure that your sources are scholarly – see the information in the course material on how to use the Ashford Library for research. More is not better, so two sources should be plenty. Don’t forget to adhere to APA formatting for the assignment. We’ve included a template and a sample annotated bibliography to help you understand exactly what is expected of you in this assignment.
Good luck with your research. 

For this assignment, you will write an annotated bibliography on three sources. For detailed information on how to create your Annotated Bibliography, please see the sample created by the developer in the assignment prompt below.

In your Annotated Bibliography, you will

  • Copy and paste the writing prompt you chose to explore in Week One into a Word Document.
  • Restate the working thesis you created in Week One below your writing prompt. ( I  will send you my week one working thesis, after I will accept your bid) I analyzed

    • Macbeth (Shakespeare, 1606) – Appendix B in Journey Into Literature 

  • In this same document, identify your primary source(s) and two secondary, academic sources. If you chose to discuss two poems in your Week One Assignment, each must have its own entry in the Annotated Bibliography.
  • Summarize each source and explain how the source supports your working thesis. These summaries should be 100 to 150 words for each entry.

For the Annotated Bibliography assignment, you will write annotations for three sources. One source should be a primary source. Next, you will choose two secondary sources that are additional to the text.

Primary and Secondary Sources


The term primary source refers to

  • Original documents: Diaries, speeches, manuscripts, letters, interviews, news

    film footage, autobiographies, official records, etc.

  • Creative works: Poetry, drama, novels, music, art, etc.

    The primary source is the story, poems, or play you choose to write about. Please see the List of Literary Works to choose a primary source. The source must come from this list.

    Examples of primary sources:

  • The United States Constitution.

  • Letters written by President Harry Truman when he was in office.

  • The Diary of Anne Frank, experiences of a Jewish family during World War II.

  • The Metamorphosis, a short story by Franz Kafka.

    Secondary Source

    Secondary sources are publications like textbooks, magazine articles, histories, criticisms, commentaries, encyclopedias, etc.

    Examples of secondary sources include:

    • A journal/magazine article that interprets and offers analysis of a literary work.

    • The biography of an author that includes references.

    • A historical account of the author’s time period and era that includes references.

      The two sources you locate must be academic sources and come from peer-reviewed journals or other scholarly publications. The library staff, being familiar with this course, can help you find these two sources. These sources can offer commentary on your story, or highlight the function of literary elements. 

The two sources you locate must be academic sources and come from peer-reviewed journals or other scholarly publications.

The Annotated Bibliography includes a citation of the source in APA format. It also includes a brief summary of the source.
