Annotated Bibliography

Project description
You will present seven scholarly sources (that is, those posted in peer-reviewed scholarly journals) that have attempted to answer your question or solve your problem.

For each source/study, give the approach and major conclusions, important methodological choices, strengths and weaknesses, and context within your field. You should

also determine the field’s responses to the particular source/study: have others cited it (Google scholar might be useful here)? Have they done so favorably or

unfavorably? In other words, you are trying to recompose the debate or conversation about this topic among scholars in your field. If you find that very few other

scholars have referred to your selected source, that is also telling you something about its place in your field. If you discuss a report that is very recent, it may

not have accrued much of a response yet; should this be the case, simply acknowledge so in your paper. Organize this information simply by source. Provide all relevant

bibliographic information, following the formatting requirements of your field. Finally, offer a one to two paragraph engagement for each source — what is the project?

How is the scholar(s) intervening in this topic/discourse in addressing the issue at hand — what’s his/her argument — how does s/he back up his/her argument

(evidence/example/explanation) — how do you feel about his/her argument? Why is it relevant? And how will you be using/applying it in making your own intervention into

the discourse/conversation? Will you agree but w/ a difference, disagree to move beyond, or advance his/her argument/approach/insight in applying it some other way?
