Assignment Instructions

Instructions:

  • The main body of essay should be between 900 and 1000 words, excluding the required annotated bibliography.
  • The essay needs to be in MLA format.
  • It should include an Annotated Bibliography instead of a works cited list (see the end of this assignment for an example of an Annotated Bibliography)
  • You must use at least 5 sources, and at least 3 must be from peer reviewed sources
    • see this video and Ch. 2 of the textbook for more information on what it means for a source to be peer reviewed: http://youtu.be/rOCQZ7QnoN0.
    • the best way to find peer reviewed sources is to use the databases available through the APUS Library; when you open the Library’s main page, click on the “Advanced Search” link at the bottom of the “Articles and Databases” box. On the next page that comes up, make sure to check the “Peer reviewed publications” box before running your search.

Choosing a Topic: You must use the topic you proposed on the Week 6 quiz, which must be chosen from among the current bills making their way through the US Congress (see GovTrack.us for the US Congress Bills Tracker) or a state legislature.

Note: Consider your audience as laymen in the field with only general knowledge of your topic.

Organize your essay into the expected sections for an academic essay (introduction, body paragraphs, conclusion), and make sure to also include all the elements of Rogerian form (your claim and support, an unbiased discussion of the opposition’s claim and support, and a clear discussion of the common ground idea/concern that could bring the two sides together).

After you have written your essay, please make sure to revise the content of your essay. Lastly, be sure to edit your essay by checking grammar, format, and smaller technical details. Please make sure your essay is written in third person.

The Annotated Bibliography

An annotated Bibliography (AB) is due with your Rogerian essay. Using the MLA guide, list each source as it will appear on the Works Cited page of your essay. Summarize each source in two or three grammatically-correct sentences, and also state how the source contributed to your project. These short summaries are the “annotations.”

The following is a sample of an “annotated bibliography.”
