Write My Essay For Me

You will need to find 5 sources: 3 must be peer-reviewed, scholarly sources. The others can be additional scholarly sources, popular journal articles (from a publication like US News and World Report or Psychology Today; not People or Hot Cars), documentary films, websites (good quality ones!), longer newspaper articles from major newspapers (like Seattle Times or Wall Street Journal, not the local Spokane paper), or even an interview. You could also use information found through CQ Researcher or SAGE Knowledge for these last 3.

After you find and read your sources, you will write an annotated bibliography—an assignment that asks you to summarize and analyze your sources and indicate how you will or might use them in your researched argument essay.

Annotated Bibliography: worth 100 Points for the final draft (and 25 for the peer review draft)

For each source, give a complete and accurate MLA citation, a one or more paragraph (4-7 sentences) summary of the major points, a one-paragraph brief analysis of the article (including larger issues the author is concerned with and/or any aspect of the rhetorical situation), and an indication of how you will or may use the source in your paper. In addition, consider adding a sentence about a specific point the article makes that you want to remember for your paper and/or a quote you may use. Here’s an example (a complete student example appears on Canvas):

Van Zant, Joshua. “Homeless in Hawaii.” The Atlantic.com. Atlantic Monthly Group, Sept. 2007. Web. 15 May 2008. My focus is not Hawaii, but this web article is still useful because it discusses high school students. Van Zant discusses how schools in Hawaii partner with local social service organizations (such as Boys and Girls Club, after school Parks and Recreation programs, and food and clothing banks) to make sure the basic needs of students are met. He summarizes the contribution each of these groups makes to two local high schools and three vocational schools. In particular, he talks about a district-wide clothing bank for kids and teens.

As he says, clothes are important to kids’ identities, and a new/hip outfit can help students feel like they fit in. This author has actually worked as a school psychologist, and since his writing is targeted to a general audience rather than a scholarly audience, his points are very clear and easy to understand. His purpose is to point out solutions to the problem of homeless high school kids feeling inferior or self-conscious about their clothes. He wrote this article for a special issue in The Atlantic about poverty and children. I will use this article to help explain that schools need to look to the community for help. It will also give me some concrete evidence of programs that schools can implement (such as a clothing bank).

Specifics:

· Sources must be in alphabetical order

Fifteen out of the 100 points are reserved for the formatting of the entire document.

· EAA 20 and LS W-12 gives information about annotated bibliographies.

· LS has a section on MLA formatting and citations beginning on page 109
