Note:Refer to your assignment in Canvas and your syllabus for all questions about criteria and expectations.
For your GWS 302 Course you are being asked to compile an annotated bibliography using the Chicago Manual of Style.
Annotated Bibliography Instructions
1. Compile a list of 6-8 preliminary reading list/bibliography, which should include:
a. scholarly articles and/or books related to your research topic.
b. 4 of these should be no more than 5 years old (2015 cut off)
2. For each submission, write a brief 3-4 sentence description of the source. You may not have read all of these selections closely by the time you turn in the assignment, but you should have scanned each one and have a sense of the topic under discussion. In short, you should be able to begin classifying them USING YOUR OWN WORDS. While you may use the abstracts, book descriptions, book reviews, table of contents, intros and conclusions to help you identify the main point of the pieces, your task is to use your own language to say what the pieces are about. Don’t plagiarize! Paraphrasing is a skill that you will need for your literature review, so start practicing.
3. Have a one line sentence or phrase about what you think each piece will help you find out about your topic (“Why I picked it” statement).
Separate all your material into two groups, Scholarly literature and Supplementary literature:
