Assignment Description

For this assignment, you will write a descriptive summary of research on a social, political, economic, or cultural issue that interests you. The goals for this assignment are to explore the scholarly knowledge that already exists for your topic, and to compare, contrast, and connect the ideas found in your research. Prior to beginning your essay, you will compose a research question about your topic that will serve as the cornerstone of your inquiry. Once you have developed a question–and that question has been approved by your instructor–you’ll conduct research that will help you answer it.

Your annotated bibliography (500-1000 words) should consist of at least 3 scholarly sources that you have deemed relevant to your topic and/or proposed research question.  For each source you will need to:

• Cite the text in proper APA format
• Write a brief annotation (approx. 150+ words) that summarizes the source in your own words and explains the source’s relevance and importance to your topic.
