My topic is about marriage equality so I would like to you also come up with a research question or thesis statement and then start annotated bibliography. You will also be writing a research paper 8 pages when the annotated bibliography is done.• Using MLA style, prepare an annotated bibliography of 8 credible sources that relate to your research question.
• These sources should be different from the ones you have already turned in for other assignments.
• Make sure you clearly state your research question at the start of the bibliography. Include a paragraph or so of why you chose this topic and how you arrived at the research question or thesis statement you chose. Your sources can be books, journal articles, magazines or newspaper articles, or they can be web sources, but the important thing is that you have evaluated them thoroughly, and that they are reliable, relevant sources.
• Remember that the annotations are not just abstracts or summaries of the works you are using. You should critically evaluate each item, and write a bit about the credibility and relevance of each source. You should analyze what you have read, not just summarize it. Your point of view about the source should also be included in the annotation, as well as something about how you found it and how it might affect your research project. Also–how does the information relate to the other sources? Each annotation should be around 150 words.
