My topic is : Effects of GMOs Foods and How GMOs Foods are related to Food Safety
Annotated bibliography need to find sources that related to my topic.
Brief Summation: Your mission for this assignment is to collect a minimum of seven reliable and pertinent NEW sources (in other words, not from the Controversy Paper) that help answer your central questions-at-issue for your term research project. In addition to such independent and original research, you will need to take useful notes when reading them to prepare for writing your essays, and show that you can accurately find and identify the various source types reviewed this term: scholarly, reliable popular, primary, secondary, scholarly peer-reviewed journals, and scholarly monographs.
Detailed Instructions
Guidelines for Sources: In preparation for your research project (including both Controversy Paper and Final Research Essay), you will need to create an Annotated Bibliography with a minimum of seven outside sources (not those assigned in class or used for your Controversy Paper) from your individualized research. Be sure to clarify your object of study with a pertinent title and guiding question/s at issue at the top of the first page so I can correctly understand your research objectives and give your work full credit. Preference sources that offer the most relevant materials in response to the central questions-at-issue you are exploring your specific topic, especially seeking a diversity of perspectives to capture controversy. You will need both support and challenges to address as you begin writing your Final Research Essay, which demands analysis of counterarguments. To have a good research foundation for an academic essay, at least five of these sources must be from scholarly works. To ensure you have a variety of strong sources with varying depth, include a chapter or more from at least one scholarly monograph book (by one to two expert authors), and two scholarly peer-reviewed journals among your selection of five scholarly works. The remaining two required sources may be reliable popular sources that pass the “Judging a Popular Web Source” test (available on the “Files” page in the “Research” folder) or you can use further academic sources if you prefer. Out of your seven sources also include at least two primary sources and two secondary sources (these may be either scholarly or popular). Please note: book reviews, editorials, and letters to the editor will not count as scholarly sources for this class, even if they are published in scholarly magazines, because they are less in-depth and analytical.
How to Annotate a Bibliography: For each source, include the full MLA Works Cited list entry, and a few complete sentences in response to five questions, the two assigned questions listed below and three customized questions of your own creation. Be sure to include your three customized questions at the top of your Annotated Bibliography, so I can see which questions you have chosen to guide your research. (See the student examples at the bottom of this document to help you envision this format.)
Two Assigned Questions: 1) How reliable is this source? Assess both its strengths and its limitations. To do so, consider the origin of the source (authors and publishers), its content type (scholarly versus popular, essay versus study, etc.), its content quality (how in-depth and how well documented), its authority (expertise of authors), how up-to-date it is (relevance in relation to object of study), and source type (primary, secondary, scholarly monograph and/or scholarly peer-reviewed journal).
2) What main arguments, reasoning, evidence, and examples does this source offer to help answer the research questions you posited in your proposal? As you answer this question, be sure to do more than just explain that the source is on your topic; instead, briefly summarize the most pertinent newinformation that each source offers to develop your understanding of your topic. (Be specific enough to show you have read and understood the source; vague answers may result in an incomplete on this assignment.)
Format: To ensure you earn full credit for your work, please put the following in bold: your labelling of which sources are scholarly, reliable popular, primary, secondary, monographs and/or peer reviewed journals and include a numbered list of your answers to all five questions for each source; use complete sentences for clarity. (See the samples below.)
Grading: This annotated bibliography will constitute 10 labor units toward your final course grade. Each source will be worth one point if all five questions (my two and your three) are specifically and clearly answered, with another three points earned based on whether or not you include and accurately identify all of the required source types. For help distinguishing between source types, see the “Research Ti
