For this project, you will do some scholarly research on Watchmen.The finished project will be an annotated bibliography with 4 sources.One of these sources is the article I provided to you, “The HumanStain,” to get you started.

Objectives:

• Find appropriate

sources

• Use MLA citation
• Distinguish between types of sources
• Summarize sources
• Evaluate sources
• Apply research to course text

The first step is finding 3 sources that would be helpful in preparing your Watchmenfinal presentation, so be sure to review the possible topics. Thisshould help you focus on what types of articles that will be mostuseful. You should not simply use the first sources you find.

(For help, read the Research Overview section of Purdue’s OWL site (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/552/01/#resourcenav) (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.).

Keep in mind that these academic sources don’t necessarily need to be directly about the particular work you are researching. You may use history, psychology,sociology, economics, or any approach that you can clearly apply toyour chosen work. After deciding upon 3 sources, you will create anannotated bibliography.

The Assignment: For each article, you will turn in a 1­page, single­spaced response that includes the following. Label each section.

Citation (Use MLA format. For help go to OWL(http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/11/) (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

Summary (Be sure to present the main points, and demonstrate by using examples and quotations)

Evaluation (Explain the strengths and weaknesses of the content, type, and author of your source)

Synthesis (Briefly explain how you would use the source in a research paper about the literary work)

I will be giving you your grade for theassignment. Though the grade will largely be based on how you do inthese three categories, there is not a grand equation that connectsgrading to the rubric. You will also need to get the citations correct. Iwill count off for mistakes there.
