Write a 1,500- 1,700-word research paper on a literary topic of your choice.

In preparation for our Final Research Paper, the next part of our Research Project is to put together an Annotated Bibliography. 
For the Annotated Bibliography, you will need: 
A Minimum of one source should be the primary source for interpretation in your research paper.
The other 4 sources should be secondary academic sources about your primary source.  No more than two sources can be from the internet (outside of the HCC Library). Remember that there is a list of sources you CANNOT use. 
 
All the information about what an Annotated Bibliography is, how to put the Annotated Bibliography together, and what should be included in each annotation is provided over the next two pages followed by a sample of a correctly formatted Annotated Bibliography for you to view.  
The specifics of the Annotated Bibliography assignment are: 
MLA 8 Format
Locate, summarize and evaluate 5 sources for possible use in your Research Paper, using the six points of guidance provided in the Cornell University Library’s “Critical Analyzing Information Sources” webpage (Links to an external site.) provided. Each annotation should be between a minimum of 75 to 150 words. 
A Minimum of one source should be the primary source for interpretation in your research paper.
The other 4 sources should be secondary academic sources about your primary source.  No more than two sources can be from the internet (outside of the HCC Library). Remember that there is a list of sources that are not allowed for this project. 
Due May 3
Research Modules 3
What’s next in our Research plan?  The final paper, which is due in a couple of weeks.  
Using the sources from your Annotated Bibliography, write a 1,500- 1700-word research paper on the topic you have already been working on. A literary research paper is an essay that uses a critical approach to argue a view or interpretation of a work of literature and supports that interpretation with research. A minimum of 4 secondary academic sources, along with a primary source, is required.  
 
This part of the Research Module has information on how to write the final paper.  Please review and use the time between now and the due date to start drafting your final paper.  
The next page in Canvas is a Discussion Board that we can use to chat about questions, possible ways of wording things, and anything that comes up about the Final Research paper.  While ungraded, it will be open through the end of the semester.
