task

• The purpose of this assignment is twofold: (1) to develop research skills with sources outside of the essays we’ve read for class and (2) to further your understanding of the issue, figure, moment, or phenomenon you’ve identified in the photograph. You will come up with an insightful Inquiry Question about the photo that you’ve chosen. Your Inquiry Question will direct you as you locate, summarize, synthesize, and evaluate sources. Put your Inquiry Question at the top of this Short Writing.

• Produce an annotated bibliography of five written sources (+ a citation for your photo, so a total of six citations) that addresses the inquiry question you created about your photo. You will be required to use sources from your annotated bibliography in your final paper.

• At least two of the five written sources should be articles from peer-reviewed academic journals. You must read the articles in full. Ensure that you keep copious notes about the articles in the event you’re required to give evidence that you’ve read them in full. Submission of this assignment signifies that you’ve read all the sources therein—turning in this assignment without having read all the sources therein is, therefore, academic dishonesty. Three helpful databases for research are JSTOR, Project MUSE, and EBSCO Academic Search Premier (available through the IUB library website; I include the links below).
  • At least one and as many as three of the five written sources required in your annotated bibliography should come from among those essays we’ve read for this class.

• Under each MLA-formatted bibliographic citation for the five written sources, you should provide a single-spaced annotation paragraph of approximately 4-6 sentences that includes the following/abides by the following guidelines below. Where appropriate (for all paraphrases and quotes), be sure to provide page number citations (failure to do so is strong evidence you have not read):
• o At least one and as many as three of the five written sources required in your annotated bibliography should come from among those essays we’ve read for this class. o Your sources need not (and very likely won’t) address the photo directly, but they should speak in some useful way to the topic of your Inquiry Question. o Book reviews, letters to the editor, and editorials do not count as peer-reviewed sources. o The peer-reviewed sources you include in your annotated bibliography must be at least 5-pages long and should be no older than 1990. o JSTOR – https://libraries.indiana.edu/resources/jstor o EBSCO Academic Search – https://libraries.indiana.edu/resources/academicse… o Project Muse – https://libraries.indiana.edu/resources/projectmus…
  • Under each MLA-formatted bibliographic citation for the five written sources, you should provide a single-spaced annotation paragraph of approximately 4-6 sentences that includes the following/abides by the following guidelines below. Where appropriate (for all paraphrases and quotes), be sure to provide page number citations (failure to do so is strong evidence you have not read):
    • A paraphrase of the author’s thesis. If the thesis is implicit, make it explicit in your annotation paragraph.
    • o How is this author’s position on your issue or question similar to and/or different from that of one other author represented in your bibliography? For example: who emphasizes what? How would they agree or disagree? o An explanation (name and definition) of a key concept from the source and how you might use it to further your analysis of the photo in Paper 3. o You are not required to produce an annotation paragraph for your citation of the photo.
