[ENG 1B Assessment: Annotated Works Cited]

As part of the the Department's ongoing assessment of 1B courses, you will write a brief annotated works cited. The process is simple:

1. Choose a website, article, or book from your research paper sources
2. Cite the source in proper MLA format
3. Write a brief (2-4 sentence) annotation in which you: A) Describe the source—What is it you are using? B) Assess the source’s integrity—why is it a legitimate source? C) Describe the reason you are using this source, as well as how you will use it—How does it fit into the framework of you paper?
4. Include a full heading and header, just as it were a regular assignment.

See the sample below:

Works Cited

Schiff, Stacy. Cleopatra: A Life. New York: Little, Brown, 2010. Print.

Sutcliff takes an academic and historical approach to Cleopatra, which moves her beyond the mythology to establish her as a legitimate world player in her time. In this book, Cleopatra is more than simply a beautiful queen, she is a wise and devoted leader who will go to great depths to protect her people. I am using this book to supplement a section in my paper on prominent female world leaders, such as Queen Elizabeth. Specifically, I am drawing from a chapter on Cleopatra's political skills.
