Final Paper

Your second assignment is to develop an annotated bibliography with a minimum of seven scholarly sources. These should be journal articles, book chapters, or books that have been peer reviewed and present theoretical or empirical contributions to your research question. You will likely also need to include some non-scholarly work to illustrate your research, but that does not need to be in this annotated bibliography. Key components:

Seven sources with full references in ASA format
A brief summary of the key contributions of the piece. No quotes
An explanation of how this connects to your research question and why it is important
Any key quotes or findings that you can pull out of the article
