Annotated Bibliography for Persuasive Speech (75 points) What is an annotated bibliography? An annotated bibliography is a list of citations of books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a descriptive and evaluative paragraph—the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited and possibly to be used for the speech. Directions: Write an annotated bibliography for three to five sources in preparation for your Week 7 Persuasive Speech. Document the sources using APA standards. Alphabetize by author last name, double space, and use the hanging indentation style.Assignment: 1. Sources should be in alphabetical order by author last name. Cite the book, article, or document using appropriate APA style. 2. Write an annotation that summarizes the central theme and scope of the book or article, gives information about the author, and tells how you might use this information in your speech. · Paragraph 1: First, summarize the source. Be sure to put the writing into your own words and avoid plagiarism. Second, evaluate the authority or background of the author. What makes them an authority or expert on this subject? You may have to search beyond the article to find out more about your author. · Paragraph 2: Explain specifically how this work might be used in your research paper. For example, it would be good for background, good for discussion of opposite views (state what they are), good for valuable facts and statistics, a good summary to help with your conclusion, good quotations from experts in the field, and so forth.

This source will best be used in my second body
paragraph. In this paragraph, I am arguing for ways young
women can see positive changes in their self-esteem. I have
included information regarding careers, which are tied to the
increases in women’s self-esteem. I will be using another source
to support that idea. This source explains how living on their
own can improve women’s self-esteem. Also, this source will
give me statistics from a recent study which supports my idea
that women can improve their self-esteem by living on their
own.
