Bibliography
A bibliography is an alphabetized list of sources that you place at the end of essays that cite sources. It generally goes on a separate sheet of paper, though in my courses I allow students to place the list of sources on the last page beneath the final paragraph.
So far in this course have only cited books. For our third assignment, your research will require you to cite many different kinds of sources, including videos, articles, and websites. For instructions how to cite these sources within your essay, see pages 426-435 in the HACKER. For instructions on how to list these sources in your bibliography, see pages 435-469 in the HACKER.
Google "MLA Works Cited"
For those without HACKER, google that phrase (HERE).
Research Activity
In class today students should find at least one source that they can use in either their expanded ENG 103 or third ENG 101 essays. First, students should return to their notes from the library visit and find a relevant research source. Skim the source and select at least one passage useful for an essay. Type the quotation into a new blog. Then, correctly enter a bibliographical citation for the source as it would appear in a works cited page at the end of an essay.
Creating Annotations
Annotations are two to three sentence explanations that summarize what your source says and why it's useful for your essay. Typically, students write these sentences beneath bibliographical citations.
Bibliographies and Research Necessary
Some students chose not to incorporate research for their second essay, even though research was required. It will be impossible to achieve an above-average score on the final ENG 103 essay without correctly referring to sources from research. It will also be necessary to attach a bibliography (works cited) page to the ENG 103 essay (and students should understand that all future essays in college should include a bibliography).
