About the Annotated Bibliography Blurb

For the Reading 2 class:

Please do not sweat the blurb. There are three things that I am grading you for. Below I have listed them and given a percentage:

(1.) Grammar and composition. Your word choice, spelling, and grammar should be accurate. 40%

(2.) Focus. You should have chosen a topic that is properly focused. Do not choose "Jordan," as you can't possibly cover this in four pages or five pages or twenty pages. Ask yourself: could I tell the class everything I needed to tell them about this subject within a twenty-minute presentation. 40%

(3.) Sources. You should give a handful of legitimate sources. Here is a website that describes how you can judge a source: http://www.thewritesource.com/judging_sources/.

Ask me if you have any questions. Below I have listed some topics, if you are stuck.
