College Writing: Writing Project #2 Annotated Bibliography: Researching the Conversation Draft Due: Tuesday, October 24 Final Due: Tuesday, October 31 Introduction Once you have posed a fruitful question about your topic, you are to research that subject further. The purpose of this research will be to delve deeply into conversations (both popular and academic) surrounding your topic. Once you better understand the arguments, terms, concepts, and ways of thinking associated with the topic, you will be better equipped to develop what you want to say about it. You must, in other words, understand what “they are saying” before you can “put your oar in” and develop a strong “I say.” To share the results of this initial research, you will write an annotated bibliography. What is an Annotated Bibliography? An annotated bibliography (AB) differs from a references page in one primary way – rather than only providing citations for the collected sources, each item in the list is followed by an annotation which describes the source, evaluates it, and explains its value to your individual research and project. An AB in general has two purposes: (1) to describe your research and the existing conversations around your topic; and, (2) to provide a path for other scholars to pursue their own research and contribute to the same conversations. The goal of this particular assignment is to provide you with a broad and deep understanding of a subject – and in particular, the conversations surrounding your chosen subject (not just the “facts”) – so that you can more effectively write an essay about that subject. What Form Should this Annotated Bibliography Take? Annotated Bibliographies can take a variety of forms. For this assignment, you will list seven sources and follow each with a numbered list of responses to these prompts: 1) The category of the source (the genre and type of source - from the categories below). 2) A brief summary of the source’s thesis or purpose (do not copy from an abstract – write this yourself). 3) A quick list of the author’s key points, highlighting key phrases and concepts (write this yourself). This should add specificity to the summary that you have provided in #2. 4) How (specifically) this source can be useful to you – i.e. what it provides you with that may be useful in understanding the subject, developing the surrounding conversations, or otherwise when writing about the subject. 5) Contextual information: the biography or credentials of the author, the expertise or reputation of the publication (for a journal or magazine, etc.), and/or how it contributes to an existing conversation. Breadth and depth of research is important. Breadth refers to a wide variety of sources. Depth refers to complexity. You need a basic introductory understanding of your topic and lens, obviously, and you can get that from textbooks, Wikipedia, and from quick web searches. But I want your AB to reflect understanding of the complexities of the topic and the conversations surrounding it. So, first give yourself that basic introductory understanding, and then begin collecting sources that go deeper. Those sources that “go deeper” should be the ones that you use in this bibliography. What Categories of Sources Will I Need? Your AB must include seven sources. In order to meet the basic requirements of this assignment, you will need: • • • Three current (within the last 10 years [2007-2017]) news, magazine, or (edited and reputable) blog articles. Three articles from scholarly (peer-reviewed) journals. One additional source of your choice (either popular or scholarly) that develops the conversation surrounding your topic (i.e. it does not just provide facts/statistics). How Should I Format the AB? • • • • Use your research question as the title of the assignment. The source listings must be double-spaced per APA; your responses to the five prompts, however, can be single spaced. The entries should be organized alphabetically (by the first word in the citation). Follow general APA guidelines otherwise in the formatting of the citations, and the page itself (Chapter 46 in Easy Writer). Deadlines and Value We will examine sample annotated bibliography entries prior to completing this assignment, but we will not be having individual meetings. We will, however, have a peer review workshop on October 27. This assignment is due to Blackboard on Tuesday, October 31. It is worth 25% of your course grade.

Aly, W. (2017, June 6). How not to talk about terrorism. New York Times. Retrieved from
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/06/opinion/terrorism-australia.html

This article is one from a popular source that talks about a terrorist incident that took
place in Manchester. Aly in this article captures the views of several leaders about the
incident. Some of the leaders think that terrorism is not necessarily related to the Islamic
religion or to Muslim Immigrants. There are also statistics that are cited stating that in fact
most terrorist activities are usually perpetrated by people who are non-Muslims. These
leaders are therefore of the view that the media gives more attention to terrorist attacks that
are perpetrated by Muslims but do not give those that are perpetrated by non-Muslims the
same attention.

They also state that fighting terrorism has nothing to do with Islam but is about
fighting evil. The other leaders, however, state that most terrorist attacks are usually done in
the name of the Islamic religion. The issue should, therefore, be taken seriously and Muslim
immigrants barred from entering the United States. This article is important to my research
because it gives a practical example of an attack that was done in the name of Islam and
therefore clearly portrays the use of Islam as a weapon by others. The article also points out
the various sentiments of leaders about the issue. The author of this article, Waleed Aly is a
political lecturer at Monash University in Melbourne, as well as a columnist and a
broadcaster. The New York Times is one of the leading national newspapers in the US.

Benson, S. R. (2016). Globalized Islamic holy terrorism: factors & motivations. Studies of the
Jihad War (4), 79-86.

This is a peer-reviewed article that talks about how and why some people use Islam as
a weapon. In the article, Benson states the genesis of the Islamic terrorist activity as a fight

states that the state of the Muslim people in these colonized countries was pathetic as they
