This article discusses (give the thesis of the article). In the next
2-4 sentences, give the main points of the article. Tell what the
article said.
The purpose of this article is ______. The intended audience
seems to be _______. Address the credibility of the source and
the author. For example, for a database article you could write:
The source came from the Sinclair database and the article came
from a scholarly peer-reviewed journal. The author seems
credible because she has written many other articles on the
subject. The article was written in 2020.
I can use this source for ______. I plan to use the following

Writing the Annotated Bibliography
From the Working Bibliography that you created, you will
choose 10 sources that best answer the questions you posed in
your Research Proposal. Those sources will form the basis for
the Annotated Bibliography. You will need a minimum of five
sources from Sinclair databases and at least three of those
sources should be "scholarly."
Briefly, the annotated bibliography includes notes and analysis
on sources that will be quoted and paraphrased in the final

2. essay. You have already had practice with the skills that are
required, but the assignments do require that you set aside
several hours for reading and analysis.
If you've taken ENG 1101 at Sinclair recently, you may have
already had some experience with the annotated bibliography.
Annotated Bibliography
To begin to put the Annotated Bibliography together, review the
sources you listed on your Working Bibliography. Choose 10
that look like they come the closest to answering the research
questions you posted in your Research Proposal. If, after
reading and researching further into your topic, you realize that
you do NOT have 10 that address the issue you are writing
about, go back to the library databases and find more sources.
Keep searching until you have ten.
Choosing the 10 sources for the Annotated Bibliography is
important because you are going to spend considerable time
reading, summarizing, and critiquing these sources. Make sure
you take as much time as necessary to read and choose sources
that answer the questions you posed in your research
proposal. The work that you do for the annotated bibliography
will form the basis for your research paper. The time you put
into this assignment will pay off when you go to write the paper
because what you create for the annotated bibliography will go
directly into your paper to support the ideas that you are sharing
with your readers. This assignment is one of the most important
steps in writing the paper. The more time you give to this
assignment, the better your paper will be.
Once you have decided on the ten most relevant sources, you
will format a bibliography just like you did in the Working
Bibliography. You will alphabetize it, use a hanging indent for
the entries posted, and then beneath each source, you will
provide the following information:
First paragraph:
· A summary of the source. The first sentence of each
annotation should state the thesis or main point of the source.

3. Then write a summary that summarizes or paraphrases the main
points and ideas of the source. Don’t just tell us what the source
is about, but tell us what it says. Use specifics from the sources.
Include relevant details. Use the guidelines for writing
summaries to help you do this and use your own words. Don't
quote the source; instead, write what it says in your own words.
This section should be 3-5 sentences.
Second paragraph:
· A mini-critical analysis. Consider the following
questions: What is the writer’s purpose in writing this article?
(This question will allow you to assess whether or not you have
enough different perspectives on the topic.) Who is the audience
for this piece? Consider the context in which this piece was
written. In other words, how did where and when it was written
affect what was said in the source? This section should be 2-4
sentences.
· A brief evaluation of the piece. Consider these questions: How
do you know the author is credible? How do you know that the
author has the adequate information to write the article? How
do you know the source is reliable? This is especially important
for Internet sources. Here you can refer to the questions on the
CRAAP worksheet that you used in the website critique topic.
This section should be 2-4 sentences.
Third paragraph:
· Discuss how you will use the source in your essay. Discuss
how you will use this information in your research paper--about
one sentence. Then, include a word for word quote from the
source.

6. Immigration
Preliminary thesis: Migrating to a foreign overseas country
offers an opportunity to learn new languages as well as new
cultures of the world. Understanding new languages and
cultures do not only expand an individual's knowledge but also
promotes diversity and global integration, (Payan, 2016).
Learning to communicate foreign languages enables an
individual to seek employment in foreign countries while
understanding new cultures enables an individual to live in
harmony with society.
Section 1: The topic of immigration is very interesting for me
because I have my own experience of moving to a foreign
country. I have relevant information about immigration based
on personal experience. My experience serves as a reliable
primary source of information about this topic. I have enough
background information that will enable me to effectively cover
the topic of immigration. As such, this topic is a good choice
for my research.
Section 2: It is essential to understand the effect of immigration
on the cultures practiced in different parts of the world. The
topic of choice for research is relevant to the world and
especially all countries affected by the current immigration
crisis. Immigration has been an issue of concern for many
European nations in the last few years, (Geddes & Scholten,
2016). Many people from various parts of the world are
traveling long distances and crossing oceans hoping to establish
new lives in Europe and America. This has to had an impact on
the cultures and languages of the immigrants as well as those of
the society they move into, (Mahfud, et.al., 2018). Research on
this topic will give meaningful insight into this issue.
Section 3: Immigration often offers better opportunities for
individuals than they would otherwise get in their home
countries. Perhaps this is the main reason why thousands of

7. people are moving to foreign countries each day, (Dinesen,
et.al., 2016). Foreign countries have been linked with
employment opportunities and higher standards of living.
However, the majority of immigrants do not follow the legal
procedure of immigration. This often results in undesirable
consequences such as deportation and sometimes denial of
services. As such, it is important to research this topic to
highlight the legal procedures that should be followed,
(Koopmans, 2019). Furthermore, conducting research will
identify the many challenges that arise in the process of
immigration.

9. Research proposal
Preliminary thesis: living overseas, learning the language, and
the culture could help you to be independent and give you the
advantage to get better job than someone who haven’t left their
country.
Section1: I’m interested in this topic because I have
experienced it and I think it would be easy for me to write about
it
Section2: I feel this topic talking more about what I experienced
Section 3: I need to learn and dig in deep about the topic: I
expect to write about this topic because I have the information
from my experience
Please redo the proposal following the assignment guidelines--
you need a fully developed paragraph for each section.
You may want to expand your thesis to the benefits of learning
another language and the benefits of learning about other
cultures.
