Assignment
Create an annotated bibliography of at least 10 sources that address the research question "What should we eat?" At least six of these sources must come from your independent research.
Consult a variety of reliable sources (e.g., books, academic journals, newspaper and magazine articles, and more) to obtain different perspectives on the topic.
As you collect and organize these sources, consider ways you could narrow the research question. Would you rather focus on nutrition, costs, availability, sustainability, or a particular audience (e.g., college students, vegetarians, Americans, etc.)?
Format
List each source alphabetically (by author’s last name), according to the proper MLA Works Cited format.
Follow each citation with a paragraph summarizing the author’s content and highlighting his/her/their main claim(s).
Conclude each citation with a paragraph analyzing the source and discussing how it may (or may not) be useful to you.
Employ proper page formatting as outlined in the Eighth Edition of the MLA Handbook, including the MLA header on the left, your last name/page number at the upper right corner.
Identify the key concepts of your topic.
Use boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) to connect search terms.
Vary punctuation. Try your search with and without quotation marks around phrases.
Vary word choices. Try synonyms and related terms. Add terms to refine and narrow search results.
