The Annotated Bibliography assignment is designed to prepare you for Essay 3, which is a formal research essay with 4 scholarly sources. The Annotated Bibliography provides the research basis for the essay, and you will choose 4 sources from your Annotated Bibliography to use in Essay 3. You will use the same topic for both assignments. Choose your topic wisely because you will be researching and writing about it for the remainder of the semester.
The assignment is not difficult, but it is time-consuming and requires close reading and meticulous documentation of sources. If you work hard and meet the requirements, then you will earn a good grade. If you procrastinate and put forth minimal effort, then you will earn a poor grade. Be sure to budget your time accordingly.
Please read these instructions carefully. This assignment has multiple parts.
1. You will choose one of the food and eating topics addressed in the readings for Unit 3. Again, Essay 3 will be based on the research you gather for the Annotated Bibliography, so the topic you choose for the Annotated Bibliography will be the topic for your final paper.
