Also look at the last assignment to create body paragraphs from the theme if it helps.

Select
The first step for this annotated bibliography research project is to select a previous essay you have written for this class. Your choice should be based on what literary works, authors, themes, and topics you may want to learn more about. Your choice could also be based on which essay you felt the most engaged in. 
WRITE: Final Draft of Literary Analysis of Poetry Foundation Collection (that one I already wrote, I will attach my file below)
Entering the Conversation 
Throughout this semester, we have been engaged in analyzing primary literary works. We have been emphasizing your own connection and interpretation of poems, flash fiction, and short stories. Now we want to enter the secondary conversation: What are others–critics, scholars, reviewers, writers–saying about those same literary works we have been reading and writing about?
You will engage in research in order to find out more about these literary works, themes, and topics and to find other interpretations and conversations on those literary works, themes, and topics. This will allow you both to validate and challenge your ideas. In other words, you also want to examine the strengths and weaknesses of your position in relation to what other critical voices/commentators are saying.
Research Requirements 
You should have at least 5 quality sources for this project, two of which should be sources from scholarly sources. You should aim for a diversity of sources:
documentary or video (from Mission College library or You Tube or DVD); 
print or web source (newspaper or magazine article, .edu or .org website); 
reference source (from Mission College Library: Gale Virtual Reference; Biography; CQ Researcher); 
academic articles from library databases or books (from Mission College Library: Gale Literary Sources; Academic Search Complete). 
Please note: This list is more of an overview of the type of sources you may use. You do not have to find one of each.
Instructions 
You will be creating your annotated bibliography using NoodleTools. NoodleTools will assist you in creating your citations for each source and in formatting your Annotated Bibliography.
In the annotation box on NoodleTools for each of your sources, please summarize, assess, and reflect on the source you have located and plan to use. 
Summarize: Some annotations merely summarize the source. What are the main arguments? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say? The length of your annotations will determine how detailed your summary is.
Assess: After summarizing a source, it may be helpful to evaluate it. Is it a useful source? How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source?
Quote: Include a relevant and significant quote from your secondary source. How does that quote relate to what you have already written about these literary works?
Reflect: Once you’ve summarized and assessed a source, you need to ask how it fits into your own analysis. Was this source helpful to you? Did you learn something about the literary works, authors, themes, literary devices, and/or topics? Would it help you develop your analysis further?
Your annotation should be written out in sentences as a paragraph (at least 200 words). You don’t need to write more than two sentences for each of these three sections: summarize, asses, quote, and reflect.
(For the Noodle Tools, don’t need to worry about that I’ll do it just help me with the Instructions: Summarize, Assess, Quote, Reflect)
