  • “Annotated Bibliography on the Rhetoric of Scientific Commentaries: Exploring the Debate Over the Species Status of the Red Wolf” “Exploring the Subjectivity of Conservation Rhetoric: An Annotated Bibliography”

    First thing: You need to pick a topic that you are deeply
    passionate about or very interested in. You will be looking up sources on this
    topic and formulating an annotated bibliography. You will then write the actual
    argumentative essay (due at the end of the course) on the subject/topic you
    have picked. But for now, you are simply giving an overview (annotation) of all
    your sources in thi annotated bibliography assignment.
    Annotated Bibliography: Your annotated bibliography will not
    be comprehensive — that is, you will not need to look at everything that is
    written about your topic.  Instead, find a minimum of five sources and
    analyze them. You must use more non-internet-only sources than internet-only
    sources. An “internet-only” source is a source that is only published online
    and is not available in a print publication. You could feasibly find all of
    your information online. Make sure the majority of sources are non-internet-only
    sources. This is an easy way to establish that they are most likely reliable
    sources.
    Please include the following: In a paragraph before you
    begin your annotated bibliography, explain what your subject and working thesis
    are, then discuss how you did your research — which library did you
    go to, which search engines did you use, did a librarian help you,
    did you call an expert on your topic?
    Writing your annotated bibliography: In the body of your
    bibliography, analyze each of your sources in a separate
    paragraph. Include the following information about each source:
    A standard citation of your source in MLA format
    The format of your source (book, magazine article, webpage,
    etc.)
    Where your source comes from, who produced it, and
    how you got access to it
    Please also answer the following questions for each source:
    How accurate and reliable is your source? Is it
    reliable, sufficient, and relevant? What is the purpose of the publication or
    website? (Is is to sell a product? To inform? To shape opinion about an issue
    or cause? Is it a corporation, an organization, or a government agency?)
    How does the author’s viewpoint affect the presentation of
    information and opinion? What are the author’s allegiances? Does the author
    treat one side of an issue more favorably than another? Is the author’s bias
    hidden or stated?
    How useful will the information in the source be for your
    paper?
    In a
    concluding paragraph, make some closing remarks about your research. Have
    you found enough relevant and credible sources to satisfy the requirements of
    your assignment? Are your sources thought-provoking, varied, and appropriate?
    You might realize that you need to do more research, which you are unable to
    find reliable information to support your thesis, or that most of the
    literature out there is biased for or against your thesis. If you think you
    will need to revise your thesis to reflect your research findings, this should
    be stated.
    Format: MLA. 12 pt. Double-spaced throughout. Times New Roman. 1-inch margins.
    Pages numbers. No title page — put name, instructor, class and date on first
    page at the top.
    Example of what you will have for each source:
    Rauch, Yvonne. M. “The Rhetoric of the Probable in
    Scientific Commentaries: The Debate Over the Species Status of the Red
    Wolf.” Technical Communication, Deliberative Rhetoric, and Environmental
    Discourse: Connections and Directions, edited by Nancy W. Coppola, Karis,
    2000, pp. 285-99. (This second line should be indented.)
    Rauch analyzes the rhetorical approaches inherent in two
    articles from Conservation Biology concerning the species status of
    the red wolf. Instead of adhering to the popular view of scientists using only
    statistical facts and non-biased observations, Rauch finds that these two
    articles employ many common rhetorical strategies. In arguing about DNA and
    hybridism, much attention is given to how these two opposing writers appeal to
    values such as “professional authority and responsibility” (289). Conveniently organized
    with section titles, Rauch’s case study in conservation rhetoric adequately
    illustrates the non-empirical quality of most biological topics. Rauch fails to
    adequately discuss the subjective nature of terms like “species” and in doing
    so misses an opportunity to examine how contemporary conservationist rhetoric
    is actually a socially constructed framework. (This paragraph should be
    double-spaced.)
    There isn’t a page requirement because this isn’t really a
    “formal” essay. Each of your annotations should be similar in length
    to the example above.
    Please take a look at this example annotation: https://libguides.enc.edu/writing_basics/annotatedbib/mlaLinks
    to an external site.
    Before submitting, please note that you are not
    able to reuse a previously written paper from high school or college. This is
    called dual-submission/self-plagiarism. Even if it is your own words, the
    unethical part is that you are trying to receive credit in another course for
    the same exact essay/assignment that you wrote in a previous or concurrent
    course. If this happens, you will automatically receive a zero for the essay
    and possibly be kicked out of the course at my discretion.
