The Annotated Bibliography + Bibliography

Preparing a Bibliography.

A bibliography is a list of sources that an author uses to research a topic. It includes all books, journals, Web sites, periodicals, and any other documents that you cite in a research essay. While the final bibliography often is developed at the end of the writing process, it is useful to start working on it early on. A good bibliography can help you keep track of sources you have consulted as well as sources you might have uncovered in doing your research that you would like to consult as you begin writing your paper. Here is what you should do:

Prepare a bibliography of at least 8-10 sources for your research essay. This bibliography should include:
The 2 sources that you consulted for the documents based essay (THE TWO SOURCES THAT I SENT)
It also must include two scholarly books about your topic, one of which you are reviewing in this module (USE THE BOOK THAT YOU REVIEW ) and another.
Any other additional scholarly materials.

Please note: You might add more sources to your bibliography as you continue to do research for your essay, and that you might remove some sources that you decide are not necessary to the final project. However, the bibliography that you submit at this stage of the research process should represent the majority of sources that you plan to include in your final essay.

Annotated Bibliography
This assignment might be one of the most important building blocks toward your final research essay because it starts to bring together all of the pieces that you have compiled so far. If all goes well, you will have completed about 40 percent of the research essay by the time the annotated bibliography is written. The second written assignment in this module will bring the research essay roughly 75 percent toward completion. Here’s what I’d like you to do:
1.    Go back to the research topic statement Civil rights movement , and the research essay abstract you prepared

2.    Review both of these pieces of writing, along with any instructor comments you received.

3.    Use the two writings, along with additional thoughts you have gathered, to write a thesis statement for your final research essay. Consider this statement to be as close to your final thesis as possible. It should include a cause and effect statement.
4.    BE SURE TO ADD YOUR CAUSE/EFFECT THESIS STATEMENT AT THE TOP OF THE ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY.  The thesis and argument together should be about 250-400 words in length. Place them at the top of the bibliography that you prepared for Module 4. You are now ready to begin writing the annotated bibliography.

5.    Purdue University’s Online Writing Lab  defines an annotated bibliography as “a summary and/or evaluation of each of the sources” one uses for researching a topic. Historians and scholars of many other academic disciplines prepare annotated bibliographies to organize materials and thoughts, outline papers, and develop arguments. We will use the annotated bibliography as a means for developing your thesis and argument. Please do the following:
o    Prepare a summary statement of 200 to 250 words for each of the sources in your bibliography. The statement should summarize the source and it should explain how that particular source will support your thesis and argument.
o    You may include one or two key quotes from the source in your summary statement (which also is known as an annotation) as well as biographic material about the author, if that material is relevant to your research essay’s topic.
o    Keep the annotated bibliography organized in alphabetical order for now. You will, however, probably want to start organizing your resources differently in the body of your paper as you start to do the final writing.
For further guidance on preparing your annotated bibliography, see Rampolla, chapter 3, pp. 29-31 as well as the Purdue Online Writing Lab .

An abstract is a summary of a larger project that describes the content and scope, the objective, methodology, and findings, conclusions or intended results. Most academic papers that are published in scholarly journals or presented at scholarly conferences begin with an abstract that is written well before the paper is even researched.
To write your abstract, please complete the following steps:
1.    Prepare a statement of 200-250 words that includes the following (one essay incorporating the – 3 documents you have utilized):
o    The main objective of your project. (You can and should draw upon your research topic statement to develop this point.)
o    The methods you expect to use to explore your project.
    This section can include primary documents, books, and secondary sources.
    It also might include interviews or oral histories, films, or other materials that you might find valuable in researching your project
o    What you think your project will reveal. For example, if you did a research on immigrants, then this statement might include a sense of whether or not the U.S. immigration policies are discriminatory.)
o    Something that others might learn from reading your final essay.

Social Media Self Study

In a nutshell, here is what I am asking you to do for this assignment: pick one (or two or three, if you want) of Jaron Laniers arguments against social media (as he makes them in the book Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now) elaborate (or, if you dont like his argument, rebut) it/them using your personal experience with social media to make your argument.

5 of Laniers 10 arguments against social media:
1. You are losing your free will.
2. Quitting social media is the most finely targeted way to resist the insanity of our times.
3. Social media is making you into an asshole.
4. Social media is undermining the truth.
5. Social media is making what you say meaningless.

Watch Jaron Lanier on The View (June 19, 2018)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSGT1dvDUYo
[interlocutors: Whoopi Goldberg, Meghan McCain, Joy Behar, Jedediah Bila, Jennifer McCarthy]

The pivotal question for this assignment is how can one make an argument like or against those of Lanier without being an insider/outsider, a critic and a perpetrator of that which is being critiqued? The answer, in the abstract, is that we have to work from our own experience.

What to do:

1. There are two kinds of personal experience I want you to research and inventory for the sake of the argument you will make in your paper: (a) gather the data that is being gather about you by social media sites. I want you to be very expansive about what you consider to be a social media site because most commercial sites have adopted at least some of the technologies and business models of sites that are purely social media sites. And, (b) identify key habits in your everyday life that are due to social media or parasitically attached to by social media. In Laniers words Something entirely new is happening in the world. Just in the last five or ten years, nearly everyone started to carry a little device called a smartphone on their person all the time thats suitable for algorithmic behavior modification. A lot of us are also using related devices called smart speakers on our kitchen counters or in our car dashboards. Were being tracked and measured constantly, and receiving engineered feedback all the time (p. 5). So the first thing to do is to circumscribe the extent of what you will write about for this paper. Inventory your mobile devices (e.g., phone, laptop, tablet, etc.) and decide which of them, or which subset of them, you will be paying attention to. Then, inventory your social media accounts (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Google, etc.) and do the same with them: which will you focus on?

2. Work your way through the series of exercises on the Data Detox site: https://datadetox.myshadow.org/en/home Supplement these exercises with some of the suggestions Brian Kernighan makes in Chapter 11 in his discussion of tracking; e.g., turning cookies on and off in your browser, installing something like Ghostery, etc. What you are aiming for here is a better understanding of how the social media sites are profiling you.
