DESCRIPTION
Projects 2 and 3 are related; therefore, it makes the most sense to provide joint instructions.
Project 2 focuses on finding and evaluating sources, and Project 3 emphasizes integrating
sources with your own ideas.
All drafts and the final of this project should be formatted using EITHER MLA or APA
formatting guidelines. You must choose the documentation system that is most commonly used
for the discipline of your major. You should use the most recent MLA Formatting and Style
Guide OR APA Formatting and Style Guide, both of which can be found online at the Purdue
Universitys Online Writing Lab (Purdue OWL or OWL)
(https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/. These guides provide very specific rules for type
size, margins, headers, etc. You will be expected to follow all formatting requirements to the
letter.
For the annotated bibliography (Project 2), you must compile at least twenty (20) sources. You
should strive to use a wide variety of types of sources, with no more than five (5) from
Online/Internet sources.
For the academic argument (Project 3), you should use at least seventy percent (70%) of the
sources compiled for your annotated bibliography in addition to your primary/field research. The
text of your paper should be at least 2000 words, not including any front matter (APA), end-of-
paper source list (both) or necessary notes (both).
NOTE THAT all items are due and must be submitted via the appropriate link online by the
beginning of class on the date listed above. Submit items as attachments in Microsoft Word (.doc
or .docx) or Rich Text (.rtf) format. DO NOT SHARE FROM GOOGLE DRIVE OR SIMILAR
PROGRAM.
Be sure to save all versions of your papers as separate computer files because you will need all
drafts and final products for your final portfolio.
