How to annotate: H.W. for Monday 11/17

In terms of annotating: an annotated bibliography is different from annotating as a form of note taking. For this, after you do the citation (just like your would for a bibliography, in alphabetical order of course), you write a 350wd analytic summary. This part is call the annotation of an annotated bibliography. In your summary, please explain the main points of the essay, how the argument is presented to you rhetorically, the flaws of the argument (and all essays, even good ones, have flaws), and how it helps you in determining if you truly want to pursue that profession. Also add how you can make the argument that is presented stronger.


Please do not copy and paste your articles to blogger!!!! This isn't an exercise in showing that you can simply locate information. In addition to that, it is an exercise in proper formatting and analysis (in this case, of information for your career). Please remember that it is worth 100 pts, which is worth more than all your 2nd qt grades (minus the Poe quest).

I expect your best. Plagiarism is not an option...I catch it, you will receive an automatic zero (even if you only plagiarize half of a sentence and then entire rest of the assignment is yours). I will also make phone calls home. A make-up assignment or extra credit for this particular assignment will not be an option. Hard core? Yes. But I expect academic, and personal, honesty and integrity from each of you.

Love ya!
