What is an Annotated Bibliography?
An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotations.
The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.Summaries vs. Annotations
Descriptive summaries are an overview of the author’s main points. Annotations are descriptive and critical; they provide a brief overview of the topic of the item but also provide a specific application of the article for the research topic.
The Process
Creating an annotated bibliography calls for the applications of a variety of intellectual skills: concise exposition, succinct analysis and informed library research. First, locate and record citations to books, periodicals, online resources, and documents that may contain useful information and ideas on your topic. Briefly examine and review the actual items. Then choose those works that provide a variety of perspectives on your research topic.
Cite the book, article, website, or document using MLA style.
Write a concise annotation that summarizes, the central theme and scope of the book or article. Include one or more sentences that (a) evaluate the authority or reliability of the source, (b) usefulness of the source, (c) applicability of the source to your research, (d) specific idea of where you can use this source in your research. You should also include a location for your source.
Format (sample)The annotated bibliography will follow all MLA format rules for a bibliography as found in the handbook. You must have at least 10 sources listed; no more than four from the Internet. (Database sources found through the library website do NOT count as Internet sources.) For your paper, you may use different sources from the ones listed on the Annotated Bibliography. You will continue to modify your bibliography until you create your final Works Cited page for your paper.

Research Paper Topic
(150 points possible + 50 outline + 50 points for the Annotated Bibliography)
The paper must be 7-10 pages in length. It will be in MLA format with at least 6 appropriate resources.
This paper and all of its parts must be complete on time for any student to pass English 1A as per the requirements listed on the syllabus. There are no revisions allowed.
Your paper must contain all of the elements of a well-written academic paper with regard to mechanics, grammar, format and content.
Your paper must go beyond a “what I know about” paper and consist primarily of an argumentation paper.
Neil Postman asks the following questions in Amusing Ourselves To DEATH,
What is information? Or, more precisely what are information? […] What is the relation between information and reason? What is the kind of information that best facilitates thinking? Is there a moral bias to each information form? […] How do different forms dictate the type of content that is expressed?” (160).
Write the epilogue for Postman’s text. It has been 26 years since he wrote his book. Expand upon his central claim of a flawed television based epistemology. Using one or two examples from the current media, analyze the current state of modern American media. Have Postman’s predictions have come true or not?
Present a theory of your own based on your observations. (using the guiding questions above.)
Analysis of at least two of Postman’s themes from the text,
Current topical examples from the modern media,
Current theory of the epistemology of modern media.
If you write a paper that is mostly descriptive (what, where, when), or fail to cite current examples, you will not pass.
This paper must
Examine and analyze the modern media (newspapers, television and internet),
Use the theories of Neil Postman as its epistemological baseline,
And identify possible future issues with modern media insomuch as to provide a clear epistemology for the future American media.
Reminder: Plagiarism is when you accidentally or deliberately borrow someone’s words or ideas and present them as your own. You will receive a no-pass grade (zero) on this assignment if you are found using text which you do not cite properly in either quoted or paraphrased form.
Again this reaserch paper above here is not what you are doing you are just doing the annotated bibliography I will set a different order for this essay which you will use the bibliography for.
