TERM PAPER INSTRUCTIONS
THESIS: The thesis of my paper is “breast cancer deaths are rising among African American women due to fewer screenings, poorer health at the time of diagnosis, and more advanced disease by the time the cancer is found.”
Annotated Bibliography
The goal of the annotated bibliography is to help you gather and organize the supporting evidence that you’ll use to argue your thesis statement/hypothesis/research question. The body of your final paper must have at least three separate main points that each support the overall argument of the paper. Each main point must have at least one quality primary source of evidence, and may also include examples such as quotes, popular media, etc.
In this assignment, you need to turn in a list of your three sources of evidence from the scientific literature. List the authors, title, date, and where it was published (what journal, website, or book you found it in). If you found the information online, list the URL. Below each source, describe why the evidence supports your thesis/hypotheses or answers your research question.
Sources
For this assignment, I am giving you strict rules about what you may/may not cite to encourage you to think critically about the information you find, especially on the internet.
Sources: Each of your three points of supporting evidence must have at least one quality information source. You MAY use anything you found in a professionally published book, newspaper, a peer-reviewed academic journal, or on a government-operated website (e.g., cdc.gov, publichealth.lacounty.gov, healthypeople.gov). You are only allowed to use websites ending in “.gov” unless you get specific approval from me. If you find an online source that you want to use that is not a government-operated website, ask yourself: who wrote this? What are their qualifications? Is the information biased or trying to convince me of one side of a debate? Is the information cited? What is the evidence backing this…
