You are encouraged to find as much information as possible to help you with the development and support of your paper. However, you should cap the amount of material at 25 items because you still have to read all of the material you find. Remember, part of the purpose of this assignment is to thoroughly research your topic, which means that your bibliography should have material to support your side as well as information regarding other perspectives on the issue (and many issues have several sides to them). Your bibliography must contain 10 entries, but it may have more if you wish. Remember, you must use at least 5 sources from your annotated bibliography for your paper, but you may use all of them if you wish. Also, as per the instructions on the researched argument prompt, you must include sources from at least 3 different source types and at least 4 of your sources must be hard copies. In other words, these sources should be books, scholarly/professional journal articles, government documents, or high level newspapers/magazines. If you get an article from an online search database, like EBSCOhost or ProQuest, or the online version of a print periodical, The Tri-City Herald online, that article counts as a hard copy article. Once you fulfill the 4 hard copy sources requirement then you may use other sources including internet, video/audio, interviews, etc. For every source please include: An MLA works cited entry, double-spaced. Followed by a short summary (annotation) of the source, single-spaced (usually 3-4 sentences). This summary must also include an indication of how this source could/will fit into your argumentative essay (this should only be a sentence). Of course, your bibliography must be arranged in alphabetical order. Also, if you find another source to use after you have turned in your annotated bibliography then you must type up another entry and annotation to turn in with your researched argument. Here are some examples (Take note that the annotations should be indented so they are even with the second line of the entries): Bruffee, Kenneth A.

The act of conversing is seen as an essential step in the process of externalizing ones thoughts by way of writing.
