Stage 2: Annotated Bibliography
For this assignment, you will gather information for your paper. Construct an annotated bibliography consisting of five sources. All of your sources should be from the UMGC library and be useful to your topic, reliable, and scholarly in nature.
Your list of sources must include:
At least one primary source. This can be your interview, your field visit, your observation etc. Some examples include an interview with someone knowledgeable about your topic, or a painting or literary work you are examining, or an observation of the rite or holiday you are studying (depending on what you chose).Make sure you cite it correctly according to MLA style.
At least one secondary resource that addresses interpretative methods for comparative mythology, ritual, sacred place, material culture, or myth and history that you will use in your paper. This source can be from the Learning Resources, but you are encouraged to find additional resources from the thinkers covered in the entire course, including week 8.
For each of the five entries in your bibliography, your annotation should be about 4-5 sentences long and include:
A citation for the reference in MLA format
A brief summary of the source, including at least two main points it makes
A comment on how it is useful to your project.
Note: You must use your own words for the annotation. Please do not use library summaries, and avoid using auto-paraphrasing tools.
