Annotated Bibliography

Along with your rough draft, you are required to turn in an Annotated Bibliography on Friday. As discussed in class, this is a list of your sources with short summaries. Specifically, I want you to include the following:
  1. The citation for the source
  2. A short summary of the source's relevance
We'll cover citations in class, of course, but for additional help try Purdue's OWL and/or Bedford St. Martins. They're both current and reliable.

There are several annotated bib examples online; the best are through Cornell and Purdue. If you've completed your note card assignment, then this should be simply a matter of typing the information. Remember to alphabetize your list.

Use MLA format, including double-spacing and page numbers.

Homework

Seniors Your exam is on Thursday, and your final essay is on Friday. I'll talk more about the essay in class tomorrow.

We will spend a bit of time tomorrow in class writing down some of your fondest memories of your senior year, and the rest of your time at RO.  Sophomores Read "Lines Composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey," and complete the questions at the end of the selection in your book. As always, please use complete sentences and cite frequently from the text.
