Description
The graduate term culminates with the submission and in-class presentations of a final paper. Since the term is composed of eight weeks in total it is beneficial to initiate the work on your research early on.
Oral presentations of your annotated bibliography will take place on the 7th week of the term, right before the last week on which students are to present and submit their final papers. The aim of this assignment is to get you started with your research early on; to have you research and examine sources relevant to your topic, to have you summarize important issues in the text in order to apply them toward the discussion; and most importantly, to receive feedback from your peers while you are still working on this assignment.
The sources that you will identify as relevant to your investigation should be included in your annotated bibliography. Select a minimum of 8 book chapters/journal articles (peer reviewed sources only) and provide an annotated bibliography (three of your sources can be derived from the course syllabus). Please consult the following page published by Purdue University:
https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/01/ (Links to an external site.)
In addition to the summary/assessment/review provide a short "relevance" paragraph describing how each text is to be applied/explored in your work.
Make sure to include a work cited page including (if relevant) films or media texts that you intent to refer to.
You will prepare a slide presentation containing the following items:
Working title for your work
research question
background information and issues to be addressed
review of literature which is a presentation of your annotated bibliography
presentation of your case study
