3-1 Project Draft Part One: Collection of Sources
Overview
As you are learning in ENG 190, the research process is an important part of writing a persuasive essay. In this assignment, you will create a collection of sources, or an annotated bibliography.
Note: This assignment is the first part of the project that you will submit in Module Seven. A crucial part of the research process is identifying credible and relevant sources that support your topic and argument. Your sources should support your topic and argument, identify counterarguments, and represent diverse perspectives.
Directions
In this project draft, you will compile your research by evaluating at least three sources that you selected in Modules One and Two that support your topic. One of these sources should be the original article that you selected in Module One from the Project Resources. The other two sources should be the ones that you selected during your library research in Module Two.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
- Biased Sources: Describe the impact of using biased sources to support your topic.
- How does the presence of bias in each source impact your argument?
- Diverse Perspectives: Describe how diverse perspectives from sources support your position. Consider the following questions:
- How do the multiple voices in the sources give evidence for your argument?
- How do these diverse perspectives from your research support your topic?
- Relevant Sources: List three relevant sources to support your persuasive essay.
- Include one source from the Project Resources and two sources that you find through your own research using the Shapiro Library.
- Include an APA citation entry for each source.
- Support: Describe how each source supportsyour topic.
- Briefly summarize each source and state why the source is credible.
- Explain how each source is relevant to your research question.
